The Supreme Court justices, collectively

Answer:

NONET

Hint:

Think of the number of justices on the highest court, then say it in Latin.

Explanation:

The word "justices" hints at the number nine—the Supreme Court has nine justices. "Collectively" suggests you’re looking for a single word that represents the group, not the number itself. "Nonet" is a term for a group of nine, making it the perfect fit for the clue.
