Material for sealings? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glassine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'material for sealings?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'sealings?' are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.

'material for sealings?' is the wordplay.
'material for' is an anagram indicator.
'sealings' anagrammed gives 'GLASSINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for glassine that I've seen is " This paper wrapped around book".)
