I know nothing about elements, but the wordplay gives Paranetes (a word, I don't think it has to be defined) and then swap Ne for SI, if those are elements?

Pete666, Paranetes IS a word, it's a note in Greek music. Its definition isn't given, isn't needed, in the clue.
Well done NaC, I should have checked the preamble properly before having a stab.

Pete666, thanks - and glad I could help.
Thanks, Mamya - I was only playing around with the words and letters and saw how it might all work.
