meet

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

'to get together' is the definition.
('meet' can be a synonym of 'get together')

'it was' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'appropriate' acts as a link.
