Literary group unravels in recital? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phrase

'literary group' is the definition.
(group of words)

'unravels in recital?' is the wordplay.
'unravels' becomes 'frays' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in recital?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'in recital' mean this).
'frays' sounds like 'PHRASE'.

(Other definitions for phrase that I've seen before include "Sequence of words" , "Group of words without a verb" , "Present" , "Group of words within a sentence" , "Group of words forming part of a sentence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
