Points out a woman with an odd figure (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seven

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

'an odd figure' is the definition.
'seven' can be an answer for 'figure' (seven is a number). I am not certain of the 'an odd' bit.

'points out a woman' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'sn' (two compass points).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'a woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example).
'sn' enclosing 'eve' is 'SEVEN'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seven that I've seen before include "Prime number" , "Theme of exotic dance" , "Number of sisters in Sussex" , "Figure of dwarfs?" , "Cube root of 343" .)

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