Offshoot group (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sect

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sect that I've seen before include "Breakaway group" , "Group of people with unusual religious beliefs" , "Religious splinter group" , "Group, faction" , "Heretical group" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
