'he may bring food' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'from the terrace' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (from the letters).
'terrace' with letters rearranged gives 'CATERER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caterer that I've seen before include "Provider of food and drink" , "Someone needed for party" , "Purveyor" , "Provision supplier" , "Provider of refreshments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
