Allegory's kin (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metaphor

(Other definitions for metaphor that I've seen before include "7/16 [FIGURE OF SPEECH]" , "Don't take that literally" , "Common figure of speech" , "Figure of speech that directly indicates a likeness" , "A common fugure of speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
