comparison

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

'an analogy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is unfinished common outside paris' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comparison that I've seen before include "distinction" , "Assessment of differences" , "Analogy; likeness" , "Process of identifying differences" , "Similarity" .)

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