Exclusive group (7)

I believe the answer is:

coterie

'exclusive group' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coterie that I've seen before include "Small exclusive circle with a common purpose" , "Group of acquaintances" , "Exclusive social circle" , "Small exclusive group of friends" , "Exclusive group with shared interests" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
