Like a humorous Scot, say? (7)

I believe the answer is:

jocular

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

'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jocular that I've seen before include "funny" , "Given to telling gags (and having fun)" , "Humorous or playful" , "With jokes and good humour" , "Humorous, joking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
