Like two peas in a pod or four characters involved in stonemasonry making a comeback (4)
I believe the answer is:
same
'like' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'in stonemasonry making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'making a comeback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'emas' is hidden within 'stonemasonry'.
'emas' reversed gives 'SAME'.
'two peas in a pod or four characters involved' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for same that I've seen before include "uniform" , "Identical, not different" , "Equal in amount or value" , "Identical, unchanged" , "Aforesaid" .)
