Street silver speculator (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stag

'speculator' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'street silver' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'silver' becomes 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'st'+'ag'='STAG'

(Other definitions for stag that I've seen before include "in a rut, perhaps?" , "Male beast" , "Male animal" , "Stock market speculator" , "One who speculates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
