Luigi Caruso? Some fated high flyer? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icarus

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

'fated high flyer?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'luigi caruso? some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ICARUS' is hidden in the letters of 'luigi caruso'.

Can you help me to learn more?
