A number argue after female receives another stroke on bottom (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eight

'a number' is the definition.
(eight is a kind of number)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for eight that I've seen before include "Number that figures in ice-skating?" , "A number, sounds like swallowed" , "One less than nineteen across" , "Two fours" , "Oxford crew, perhaps?" .)
