'type dealing with a range of sources' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'community associated with the foreign court in charge' is the wordplay.
'community' becomes 'ec' (abbreviation for European Community).
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the foreign' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'ec'+'le'+'ct'+'ic'='ECLECTIC'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
