Adjustment at Italian comic's ground (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acclimatisation

'adjustment' is the definition.
(acclimatisation is a kind of adjustment)

'at italian comic's ground' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates an anagram ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'at'+'italian'+'comics'='atitaliancomics'
'atitaliancomics' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCLIMATISATION'.

(Another definition for acclimatisation that I've seen is " Getting used to".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
