Get old, fat, see (4)

I believe the answer is:

date

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see' is the definition.
(I know that see can be written as date)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "Sweet edible fruit" , "Specified day" , "Year or day when an event occurred" , "Small fruit or social appointment" , "The fruit for a social engagement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
