Organ generating gas (5)
I believe the answer is:
argon
'gas' is the definition.
(argon is a gas)
'organ generating' is the wordplay.
'generating' indicates an anagram.
'organ' anagrammed gives 'ARGON'.
(Other definitions for argon that I've seen before include "noble element" , "something inert and insubstantial" , "Inert eighteen ac gas" , "Chemical element" , "Gas, 1% of atmosphere" .)
