Thanks, Bharat. I opted not to give/not to try to give a hint - I'm seldom good at those when there are multiple parts to the parsing!

Bharat,
Definition is "poor". A word for angry (at unjust treatment), with NA replaced by E. I'll give the answer if you prefer.

Looks like Peak is an adjectival definition. Two single letters, then one (millions) surrounded by a four-letter word for what you do when you put something online.
