Meets back at Mile End, like (6)
I believe the answer is:
esteem
'like' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meets back at mile end' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'mile' is 'e'.
'meets' reversed gives 'steem'.
'steem' put after 'e' is 'ESTEEM'.
(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "gain respect" , "Admiration, regard" , "Think highly of, have regard for" , "Set a high value on" , "Honour - regard" .)
