We have analysed VSOP and global VLBI data at 5 GHz and VLBA /+ Effelsberg data at 15 GHz for 2021+614. By identifying the core as being between two bright hotspots, we show that 2021+614 is a compact symmetric object of size /~40 pc. From comparison with earlier observations we deduce an apparent age of <~375 yr for 2021+614. This provides additional support for the contention that compact symmetric radio objects associated with galaxies are in fact young radio sources and the possible precursors of the classical FR I or FR II radio galaxies.
