Dishes fit watertight seals? (9)
I believe the answer is:
tableware
'dishes fit' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tableware that I've seen before include "Crockery, cutlery, etc." , "knives, etc" , "Bowls, for example" , "Dinner service" .)
