Very numb (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dead

This clue is a double definition.

'very' is the first definition.
(dead can mean very or absolutely, eg 'dead wrong')

'numb' is the second definition.
(eg a dead arm)

(Other definitions for dead that I've seen before include "Lifeless" , "no longer with us" , "Lookalike" , "directly" , "Late; exact" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
