Neighbor of Wash (3)

I believe the answer is:

ore

(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "Mineral deposit" , "not worth a lot to Danes" , "Material for smelting" , "Small coins" , "Mineral containing valuable metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the New York Times, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Family Time.
