Fitting together of disparate elements associated with lawgiver (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mosaic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fitting together' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'disparate elements associated with lawgiver' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'elements' could be 'mos' (Mo is an example) and 'mos' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mosaic that I've seen before include "work of art" , "Pattern made with tiny pieces of stone or glass" , "Tessellated picture" , "Decorative work of small hard pieces" , "Pattern of fragments" .)
