Explanatory comparison (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

analogy

(Other definitions for analogy that I've seen before include "A comparison or parallel" , "Comparison made to aid clarification" , "Correspondence, resemblance" , "Helpful comparison" , "Partial likeness between two things being compared" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
