Number — finger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digit

I believe this is a double definition.

'number' is the first definition.
(digit is a kind of number)

'finger' is the second definition.
(I know that finger can be written as digit)

(Other definitions for digit that I've seen before include "that's on hand" , "One's on hand" , "One in ten, say" , "using 0 or 1 for example" , "Finger, thumb or toe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
