oddity

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'clearly not even half' is the first definition.

'a strange thing' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oddity that I've seen before include "Curious thing" , "Quality of strangeness" , "Something strange or eccentric" , "Something strange or peculiar" , "Curiosity, curio" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
