Tribute of silver in house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homage

'tribute' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Public tribute ' mean 'homage' so perhaps 'tribute' could also mean 'homage')

'silver in house' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'house' becomes 'home' (homing is a kind of housing).
'ag' going inside 'home' is 'HOMAGE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for homage that I've seen before include "respectful acknowledgment" , "Honour or respect shown publicly" , "Formal expression of respect" , "Public honour and respect" , "Things said as mark of respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
