Sufficient promotion? Compare! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adequate

'sufficient' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'promotion? compare' is the wordplay.
'promotion?' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'compare' becomes 'equate' (synonyms).
'ad'+'equate'='ADEQUATE'

(Other definitions for adequate that I've seen before include "Fair to middling" , "Good enough, acceptable" , "Sufficient, good enough" , "Good or plentiful enough" , "Sufficient or all right" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
