Like or akin (7)

I believe the answer is:

similar

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'like' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'akin' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for similar that I've seen before include "Having a close resemblance to" , "Comparable" , "Resembling, like" , "Appearing the same" , "Of the same kind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
