Wolfram (8)

I think it could be either:

tungsten

tungster

'wolfram' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tungsten that I've seen before include "Element used in electric light filaments" , "Steel-grey metal" , "Rare metallic element" , "Chemical element, symbol W" , "Metallic element used for lamp filaments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
