Split-off group (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sect

'split-off group' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sect that I've seen before include "Dissenting body" , "School, faction" , "Religious splinter group" , "Body of followers" , "Religious faction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
