Miscellaneous trades, so varied (8)
I believe the answer is:
assorted
'miscellaneous' is the definition.
('assorted' can be a synonym of 'miscellaneous')
'trades so varied' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trades'+'so'='tradesso'
'tradesso' anagrammed gives 'ASSORTED'.
(Other definitions for assorted that I've seen before include "Manifold" , "Motley" , "Miscellaneous, sundry" , "Mixed" , "Of different kinds put together, like sweets" .)
