Inert gas; groan (anag.) (5)

I believe the answer is:

argon

(Other definitions for argon that I've seen before include "Inert eighteen ac gas" , "Chemical element" , "Noble gas used in light bulbs" , "something inert and insubstantial" , "Gas used in electric lights" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
