A motley assortment of things (7)
I believe the answer is:
melange
'a motley assortment of things' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for melange that I've seen before include "A French mixture of me with angel" , "Miscellany" , "Varied mixture" , "Mixed bag" , "Confusion" .)
