Goes with any sort of floral tribute (7)

nosegay

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

'floral tribute' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'goes with any sort' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sort' indicates an anagram.
'goes'+'any'='goesany'
'goesany' anagrammed gives 'NOSEGAY'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nosegay that I've seen before include "Floral offering" , "pick of the bunch" , "bunch of pansies?" , "Small posy" , "Corsage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
