Crossword Genius

Round, divine and rather funny (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odd

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

'rather funny' is the definition.
'odd' can be an answer for 'funny' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'rather' bit.

'round divine' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'divine' becomes 'dd' (divine can mean theologian eg Doctor of Divinity).
'o'+'dd'='ODD'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odd that I've seen before include "Eccentric or unpaired" , "Matchless" , "Not matching" , "standing out from the crowd?" , "Funny" .)
