Jumble of removed paper with nothing to finish (7)

I believe the answer is:

farrago

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

'jumble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'removed paper with nothing to finish' is the wordplay.
'removed paper with' becomes 'farra' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'finish' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'nothing to' are 'go'.
'farra'+'go'='FARRAGO'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for farrago that I've seen before include "Confused mass" , "Disorderly mixture" , "Confusion" , "Mix" , "Motley assortment of things" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
