Scheming group (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabal

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cabal that I've seen before include "Secret group of plotters" , "Secret plot or the people engaged in it" , "Intriguing group" , "Camp" , "Intrigue, clique" .)

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