Incomplete remnants of damaged accesories (9)

I believe the answer is:

ornaments

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

'accesories' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'incomplete remnants of damaged' is the wordplay.
'incomplete' means to remove the last letter.
'damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'remnants'+'of'='remnantsof'
'remnantsof' with its last letter taken off is 'remnantso'.
'remnantso' anagrammed gives 'ORNAMENTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ornaments that I've seen before include "Decorates" , "Decorations, embellishments" , "Tree baubles" , "Adornments, decorations" , "Trinkets" .)
