Put on a finish to a literary supplement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

addenda

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

'literary supplement' is the definition.
'addenda' can be an answer for 'supplement' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'literary' bit.

'put on a finish to a' is the wordplay.
'put on' becomes 'add' (as in adding something on).
'a finish' becomes 'end' (come to an end).
'add'+'end'+'a'='ADDENDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for addenda that I've seen before include "Additions to documents" , "Postscripts, supplements" , "Textual supplements" , "Items added to a text" , "Things added to the end of books" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
