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

'are all the same' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for even so that I've seen before include "'Nonetheless (4,2)'" , "however" , "'Despite, still (4,2)'" , "Notwithstanding" , "Just the same, though that may be the case" .)
