Crossword Genius

Feeling less for the figure? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

number

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'feeling less' is the first definition.
(more numb)

'the figure?' is the second definition.
(figure is a kind of number)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for number that I've seen before include "less sensitive" , "42, say" , "No longer" , "Comparatively torpid" , "1,2,3, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
