Group of eight (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

octet

octad

'group of eight' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for octet that I've seen before include "Group that plays" , "Musical composition for eight performers" , "Played" , "Musical work for eight" , "Chamber ensemble, a Mendelssohn favourite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Times, The Star Tribune, the Universal, the Penny Press, The Mirror, The Daily Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Telegraph and The New York Times.
