.... Enrico; about to ruin ours (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caruso

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

'enrico' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'about to ruin ours' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (short for circa).
'to ruin' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ours' is an anagram of 'ruso'.
'ca'+'ruso'='CARUSO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caruso that I've seen before include "Enrico . . . . . ., former tenor" , "songster" , "Classical tenor" , "Singer Enrico" , "Enrico ...... was famous Italian tenor" .)

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