Forbid regulars visiting house where brothers live (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

friaries

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brothers live' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'forbid regulars visiting house' is the wordplay.
'regulars' indicates alternate letters (letters selected at regular intervals).
'visiting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'house' becomes 'aries' (Aries is an example).
The alternating letters of 'forbid' are 'fri'.
'fri'+'aries'='FRIARIES'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for friaries that I've seen is " religious buildings".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
