Sort of parade one's individuality (8)
I believe the answer is:
identity
'one's individuality' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for identity that I've seen before include "it may precede crisis" , "Sameness - individuality" , "Condition of being a specified person" , "Distinct personality of an individual" , "Close affinity" .)
