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

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

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for met that I've seen before include "Encountered, came into contact" , "Encountered or touched" , "Came across - police in London" , "Encountered, came across" , "Encountered pro tem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
