Pressing metal in Greek capital (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ironing

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

'pressing' is the definition.
(ironing is a kind of pressing)

'metal in greek capital' is the wordplay.
'metal' becomes 'iron' (iron is a metal).
'in greek capital' becomes 'ing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'iron'+'ing'='IRONING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ironing that I've seen before include "A housework chore" , "A pressing engagement" , "Laundry job" , "Household task" , "Levelling out" .)
