Material did not stand out (5)
I believe the answer is:
satin
'material' is the definition.
(I know that satin is a type of material)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for satin that I've seen before include "Saint (anag.)" , "Silk fabric" , "Glossy textile" , "Shiny solk" , "Fine material" .)
