Group of listeners? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ten

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

'group' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'of listeners?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'TEN' is hidden within 'listeners'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ten that I've seen before include "Roman numeral X" , "Very young" , "Base of decimal system" , "How many" , "PM's address, Downing St" .)
