Crossword Genius

Variety of otters man's disturbed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assortment

'variety' is the definition.
(I know that variety can be written as assortment)

'otters man's disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'otters'+'mans'='ottersmans'
'ottersmans' anagrammed gives 'ASSORTMENT'.

'of' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
