limb

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

'member' is the definition.
(limb is a kind of member)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limb that I've seen before include "Jointed appendage" , "as part of plane, say" , "Branch - arm - leg" , "Branch of a tree (risky to go out on)" , "Eg wing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
