Stuff dog? Remains getting scattered (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gormandise

'stuff' is the definition.
(I know that stuff can be written as gormandise)

'dog? remains getting scattered' is the wordplay.
'getting scattered' indicates an anagram.
'dog'+'remains'='dogremains'
'dogremains' anagrammed gives 'GORMANDISE'.

(Other definitions for gormandise that I've seen before include "gorge" , "scoff like a 28 [PIG] ?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
