Group of bewitching females (5)

I believe the answer is:

coven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group of' is the definition.
'coven' can be an answer for 'group' (I have seen 'Group of witches' mean 'coven' so perhaps 'group' could also mean 'coven'). I am not sure about the 'of' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coven that I've seen before include "Group of witches" , "Gathering of witches" , "Witches' set" , "Charming women" , "Witch group" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
