Look for similarities between wayward offspring and last two from Capri (10)
I believe the answer is:
comparison
'look for similarities' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'wayward offspring and last two from capri' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'offspring' could be 'son' (male offspring) and 'son' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'between' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comparison that I've seen before include "In contrast" , "Similarity" , "Assessment of differences" , "The drawing of parallels" , "Analogy; likeness" .)
