Old-fashioned but still given appointments (5)

I believe the answer is:

dated

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'old' is the first definition.
(dated can mean old or out of date)

'fashioned but still given appointments' is the second definition.
'dated' can be an answer for 'fashioned' (I have seen 'Old fashioned' mean 'dated' so perhaps 'fashioned' could also mean 'dated'). I am unsure of the 'but still given appointments' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dated that I've seen before include "Archaic; took out" , "Old fashioned" , "Revealed the age of" , "Went steady" , "Passe" .)
