Classified ad featuring exotic escorts about to be removed (8)
I believe the answer is:
assorted
'classified' is the definition.
('assort' can be a synonym of 'classify')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "Miscellaneous, sundry" , "Mixed" , "Of different kinds put together, like sweets" , "like some chocolates" , "Stared so at a varied mixture as of sweets" .)
