shortlist

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

'which a final selection can be made' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'lost shirt fabricated' is the wordplay.
'fabricated' is an anagram indicator.
'lost'+'shirt'='lostshirt'
'lostshirt' is an anagram of 'SHORTLIST'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shortlist that I've seen before include "Final candidates" , "Ko-Ko had" , "suitable candidates" , "Reduced size of field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
