Paving material invented by John McAdam (6)

I believe the answer is:

tarmac

(Other definitions for tarmac that I've seen before include "Road paving material" , "Surfaced area for plane to land" , "Topping" , "short runway, perhaps" , "Surface material of tar and broken stone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
