List what fibbers do endlessly, one such as Boris (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inventory

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

'list' is the definition.
(I know that inventory is a more specific form of the action list)

'fibbers do endlessly one such as boris' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'as' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'what' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inventory that I've seen before include "List of items present" , "assets" , "Detailed list of goods in stock" , "List of all items in stock" , "List of property, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
