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

'saint from anagram medley that needs rearrangement' is the definition.
'mary magdalene' can be an answer for 'saint' (I have seen 'Christian saint ' mean 'mary magdalene' so perhaps 'saint' could also mean 'mary magdalene'). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mary magdalene that I've seen before include "Sinner who became a follower of Jesus" , "Female follower of Jesus" , "Christian saint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
