Stumbling at rear, making mistakes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

errata

'mistakes' is the definition.
(an erratum is a mistake in a printed work)

'stumbling at rear' is the wordplay.
'stumbling' is an anagram indicator.
'at'+'rear'='atrear'
'atrear' anagrammed gives 'ERRATA'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for errata that I've seen before include "Mistakes in printed proofs" , "Mistakes (Latin)" , "Text mistakes" , "Mistakes in printing or writing" , "Misprints in a book" .)
