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 the entire clue.

(Other definitions for octad that I've seen before include "quarter-finalists, perhaps" , "Crew, perhaps" , "E.g. quarterfinalists" , "Group" .)

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