Comparison (7)

I believe the answer is:

analogy

'comparison' is the definition.
(analogy is a kind of comparison)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for analogy that I've seen before include "A comparison or parallel" , "Likeness or similarity in some ways" , "Instructive comparison between two things" , "A clarifying comparison" , "Helpful comparison" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
