Factor in a small amount (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

element

I believe this is a double definition.

'factor' is the first definition.
('element' can be a synonym of 'factor')

'a small amount' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for element that I've seen before include "fire, perhaps, once" , "Eg, one dn" , "Constituent part (7)" , "Component of periodic table" , "Comfort zone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
