Duck to be part of meze platter (5)
I believe the answer is:
olive
'meze platter' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'duck to be' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'to be' becomes 'live' (to be is to live or exist).
'o'+'live'='OLIVE'
'part of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for olive that I've seen before include "Fruit giving oil" , "Cocktail fruit" , "Yellowish-green colour" , "Female" , "Oily stone fruit" .)
