Dilapidated tailor-made tent is thrown out (14)

I believe the answer is:

tatterdemalion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is thrown out' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'dilapidated tailor-made tent' is the wordplay.
'dilapidated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tailor'+'made'+'tent'='tailormadetent'
'tailormadetent' with letters rearranged gives 'TATTERDEMALION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tatterdemalion that I've seen before include "Ragged fellow" , "ragamuffin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
