Where to store fat and King Edward (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

larder

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

'where to store' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'fat and king edward' is the wordplay.
'fat' becomes 'lard' (lard is a kind of fat).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'king edward' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Eduardus Rex).
'lard'+'er'='LARDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for larder that I've seen before include "Buttery" , "Room or cupboard for food storage" , "room off kitchen?" , "Food storeroom" , "Stock of provisions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
