(synonyms)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "A social appointment - check calendar" , "eg 1588" , "Romantic appointment" , "The fruit for a social engagement" , "Year or day when an event occurred" .)
