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 the entire clue.

(Other definitions for octad that I've seen before include "quarter-finalists, perhaps" , "Crew, perhaps" , "E.g. quarterfinalists" , "Group" .)

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