Made up to look like a pantomime character.... (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dame

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

'a pantomime character' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'made up to look' is the wordplay.
'made' anagrams to 'DAME'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'like' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "British title for a lady" , "Comic pantomime role" , "Female title; panto part" , "Female equivalent of British sir" , "Lady's title" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
