Mixture possibly generating a volt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lovat

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

'mixture' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'generating a volt' is the wordplay.
'generating' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'generated' mean this).
'a'+'volt'='avolt'
'avolt' is an anagram of 'LOVAT'.

'possibly' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lovat that I've seen before include "Bluish-green tweed" , "Green used in tweeds, etc" , "(Of woollen cloth) muted green-blue colour" , "sort of green" , "Green colour, as of tweed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
