I believe the answer is:
elite
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">superior group</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "type in pool?" , "one of the letter sizes" , "First-class" , "Top group f" , "top drawer?" .)
