Hi leapy
Have you worked out how the across clues work? I don't want to give too much away, but the definition is there (though in this case the def. isn't obvious) but only part of the word is subsidiarily clued - the rest is a common "missing" thing, indicated by 11ac

So the "gold" is clued, but the rest of the word isn't.
