Crossword Genius

Enjoy Kelly being compared (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

likened

'being compared' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'enjoy kelly' is the wordplay.
'enjoy' becomes 'like' (like can mean to appreciate or enjoy something).
'kelly' becomes 'ned' (outlaw Ned Kelly).
'like'+'ned'='LIKENED'

(Other definitions for likened that I've seen before include "Equated" , "Pointed out resemblance or compared" , "Resembled" .)
