I know this has to be "ketch" and the k = thousand, but where does the rest of it come from as I am left with etch?

13a.Deter
18d.Nominee (Number 1= Noi, Money =m, originally= nee)
20d.Ketch( chase is to engrave i.e etch)

[bibblebub]

18d) number one = NO 1, originally called = NEE, money = M
-> no m i nee

[bibblebub]

12d) TERSE = ...characTER SEemed...

Thanks to all. Was leaning towards deter, but why?

dannyk13, have never heard of etch equating to chase so many thanks for that.
