'doctor compared his fraternity with colleagues' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'doctor compared his' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'compared'+'his'='comparedhis'
'comparedhis' is an anagram of 'COMRADESHIP'.
