It is even palindromic (5)

I believe the answer is:

level

This clue is a double definition.

'it is even' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'palindromic' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for level that I've seen before include "Neither winning, nor losing" , "Flat and smooth" , "Steady, flat, floor" , "Experience an evening out" , "Standard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
