Various small items son gets wet again? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sundries

'various small items' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'son gets wet again?' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'gets wet again?' becomes 'undries' (undry could whimsically mean to get wet again).
's'+'undries'='SUNDRIES'

(Other definitions for sundries that I've seen before include "Miscellaneous unspecified things" , "Miscellaneous items" , "various small things" , "range of items" , "Various small items" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
