Silver brought into house for show of respect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homage

'show of respect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'silver brought into house' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'brought into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'house' becomes 'home' (homing is a kind of housing).
'ag' going within 'home' is 'HOMAGE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for homage that I've seen before include "Formal expression of respect" , "Tribute, reverence" , "Due respect" , "Show of respect to someone" , "Formal expression of loyalty to a ruler - pay it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
