Like most primes NYT Crossword Clue Explanation
The term "ODD" refers to numbers that are not divisible by 2, which is a defining characteristic of most prime numbers. Prime numbers are integers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves. The only even prime number is 2; all other prime numbers are odd. This is because any even number greater than 2 can be divided by 2, making it composite rather than prime.
Understanding the Clue

- ODD: Most prime numbers are odd, with the exception of the number 2. The odd nature of prime numbers (apart from 2) is a fundamental trait that helps define them.
