Element; canister (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tin

This clue is a double definition.

'element' is the first definition.
(tin is a kind of element)

'canister' is the second definition.
(I know that canister can be written as tin)

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Silvery white metal" , "A silvery-white metal, symbol Sn" , "Atomic number 50" , "Money" , "Silvery metallic element" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
