Miscellany found in a widow's place, second from the right (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omniana

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

'miscellany found' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a widow's place second from the right' is the wordplay.
'widow's place' becomes 'nain' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'second' becomes 'mo' (both are short periods of time).
'from the right' is a reversal indicator.
'a'+'nain'+'mo'='anainmo'
'anainmo' written backwards gives 'OMNIANA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for omniana that I've seen is " Sundry varied stuff".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
