Iron, for example (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metal

'iron for example' is the definition.
(iron is a kind of metal)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Given lead, perhaps" , "Like steel cutlery" , "Iron, for instance" , "Copper, perhaps" , "barium?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
