Interpreter for example appearing in late summer in France (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exegete

'interpreter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'example appearing in late summer in france' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg'.
'appearing in' is an insertion indicator.
'late' becomes 'ex'.
'summer in france' becomes 'ete' (').
'ex'+'ete'='exete'
'eg' placed into 'exete' is 'EXEGETE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for exegete that I've seen before include "Interpreter of scripture" , "scriptural interpreter" , "commentator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
