Faction (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

side

camp

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">faction</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(one side in a conflict or controversy)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "A quarter, or half" , "long forgotten" , "Team - pretentious manner" , "[MAN U], perhaps" , "Airs and graces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
