Jumble sale man jumping with lice (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miscellanea

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

'jumble' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'sale man jumping with lice' is the wordplay.
'jumping with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sale'+'man'='saleman'
'saleman' anagrammed with 'lice' makes 'MISCELLANEA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for miscellanea that I've seen before include "Disorganized bunch" , "Collection" .)
