Most abundant element in Earth's crust (6)

I believe the answer is:

oxygen

(Other definitions for oxygen that I've seen before include "Gas forming about 20 per cent of atmosphere" , "A combustible element" , "Gas, part of the air" , "life support" , "Essential gas for most plants and animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
