Fresh herb with territory of a paper-seller (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsagent

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

'seller' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Seller of papers ' mean 'newsagent' so perhaps 'seller' could also mean 'newsagent')

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newsagent that I've seen before include "paper supplier" , "Guardian seller?" , "Seller of papers" , "Retailer" , "shop selling rags?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
