No smart set -- jumbled collection of various items (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assortment

'collection of various items' is the definition.
(an assortment of items)

'no smart set jumbled' is the wordplay.
'jumbled' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'smart'+'set'='nosmartset'
'nosmartset' anagrammed gives 'ASSORTMENT'.

(Other definitions for assortment that I've seen before include "Variety" , "Mixture" , "Miscellany" , "Miscellaneous collection" , "Medley" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
