Ross

I think it could be either:

octet

octad

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the New York Times, The Telegraph, The Irish Independent and The Sun.
