Group of eight (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

octet

octad

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for octet that I've seen before include "Group that plays" , "Musical composition for eight performers" , "Played" , "Musical work for eight" , "Chamber ensemble, a Mendelssohn favourite" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Newsday, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, The Mirror, the Universal, the Evening Standard, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today and the Penny Press.
