Shaped tungsten not even touching lead (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrought

'shaped' is the definition.
(I know that shaped can be written as wrought)

'tungsten not even touching lead' is the wordplay.
'tungsten' becomes 'W' (W is the chemical symbol for tungsten).
'not even' becomes 'rough'.
'lead' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'touching' is 't'.
'w'+'rough'+'t'='WROUGHT'

(Other definitions for wrought that I've seen before include "Shaped by hammering" , "Worked by hammering or beating" , "knocked into shape" , "Made" , "Ornamented" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
