A member of the family producing jumble sale sign? (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
as is
'sale sign?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a member of the family producing jumble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'member of the family' could be 'sis' (short for sister) and 'sis' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for as is that I've seen before include "current state" , "In the existing circumstances" , "not changed" , "unchanged" , "in the present circumstances" .)
