Draw analogies with accepting daughter as friend (8)

I believe the answer is:

compadre

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

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

'draw analogies with accepting daughter' is the wordplay.
'draw analogies with' becomes 'compare' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'compare' going around 'd' is 'COMPADRE'.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for compadre that I've seen before include "American friend" , "Friend, companion" , "Friend (from Spanish)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
