'display prominently' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'in small dish' is the wordplay.
'in small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.**).
'dish' becomes 'platter' (platter is a kind of dish).
's'+'platter'='SPLATTER'

Can you help me to learn more?
