Can someone kindly parse 4d for me? I've got the answer as "corpulent". I get the "lent" bit but I don't understand the derivation of  "corpu". Ta in advance.

Thanks. That's a new one for me; this crossword is working wonders on my vocabulary!

Can anyone recommend a source for these somewhat obscure words?

Do you have a copy of Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary?  If not, I would recommend it.  Very useful. It was suggested to me years ago.
