Crossword Genius

Same turning, indicate left (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

identical

'same' is the definition.
('identical' can be similar in meaning to 'same')

'turning indicate left' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates anagramming the letters.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'indicate' is an anagram of 'identica'.
'identica'+'l'='IDENTICAL'

(Other definitions for identical that I've seen before include "Like two peas in a pod" , "not distinguished" , "showing no change" , "uniform" , "Duplicate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
