A smaller number of (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fewer

'a smaller number of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fewer that I've seen before include "Reduced" , "smaller number of people" , "in smaller numbers" , "Less in number" , "Not so many" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
