metal
Shiny, hard element
In general use, a metal is a material that is solid, opaque, conducts electricity, and is typically shiny in appearance.
Precious metals are those that are relatively rare and command a high price.
The hard and durable qualities of metal presumably give rise to the meaning in music: heavy metal is rock music with a strong, loud beat.
Metal is infrequent as a British verb; it means to create (a road) using crushed rock or gravel.
