Vengeful group that is wrapped in winter clothing (6)
I believe the answer is:
furies
'vengeful group' is the definition.
(spirits of vengeance in Greek mythology)
'that is wrapped in winter clothing' is the wordplay.
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'wrapped in' indicates putting letters inside.
'winter clothing' becomes 'furs' (furs might be worn in winter).
'ie' inserted inside 'furs' is 'FURIES'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
