Various items — a harp, a praline — scattered around (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paraphernalia

'various items' is the definition.
(paraphernalia means various objects)

'a harp a praline scattered around' is the wordplay.
'scattered around' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'harp'+'a'+'praline'='aharpapraline'
'aharpapraline' with letters rearranged gives 'PARAPHERNALIA'.

(Other definitions for paraphernalia that I've seen before include "Particular gear" , "Sundry equipment" , "Trappings" , "Miscellaneous stuff" , "clobber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
