Plate for 1ac maybe (4)
I believe the answer is:
dish
'plate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dish that I've seen before include "Kitchen container" , "Attractive person" , "Recipe; kitchen item" , "Food container; aerial" , "Spoil" .)
