Crossword Genius

Clubman recalled dropping couples outside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

member

'clubman' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for member that I've seen before include "someone with a club" , "One of a group or club" , "Legislative representative" , "Elected person" , "Person belonging to a particular group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
