Possibly a summer in America? Hint it gets ruined (13)

I believe the answer is:

arithmetician

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

'possibly a summer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'america? hint it gets ruined' is the wordplay.
'gets ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'america'+'hint'+'it'='americahintit'
'americahintit' with letters rearranged gives 'ARITHMETICIAN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arithmetician that I've seen before include "Numbers expert" , "Expert on calculating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
