A number enjoy something (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digit

'a number' is the definition.
(digit is a kind of number)

'enjoy something' is the wordplay.
'enjoy' becomes 'dig' (to dig can mean to appreciate or 'get').
'something' becomes 'it' (both can refer to an object).
'dig'+'it'='DIGIT'

(Other definitions for digit that I've seen before include "Single number" , "A character" , "Single figure - finger" , "finger, perhaps" , "One in ten, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
