Stated number in addition (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

too

'in addition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'stated number' is the wordplay.
'stated' shows a homophone (sound like).
'number' becomes 'two' (two is a kind of number).
'two' sounds like 'TOO'.

(Other definitions for too that I've seen before include "Unduly" , "What a pity!" , "As well, also" , "Likewise" , "On top - also" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
