Like pride of place? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

civic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like pride' is the definition.
'civic' can be an answer for 'pride' (civic pride is a kind of pride). I'm not certain of the 'like' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for civic that I've seen before include "Relating to a city or town" , "Relating to a city/town" , "Relating to citizenship or public affairs" , "Like, eg, town councils" , "Relating to citizens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
