Point to even or odd number (5)

I believe the answer is:

seven

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

'odd number' is the definition.
'seven' can be an answer for 'number' (seven is a kind of number). I'm unsure of the 'odd' bit.

'point to even' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 's' (S is an example).
's'+'even'='SEVEN'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seven that I've seen before include "Number of sisters in Sussex" , "Film" , "Number (of stars in the sky?)" , "VII" , "Number of seas sailed?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
