Lead or tin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metal

This clue is a double definition.

'lead' is the first definition.
(lead is a metal)

'tin' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Intrinsic quality; stone for roads" , "Copper, perhaps" , "Lead, say" , "Musically it can be heavy" , "Conducting solid" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
