hitmen

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

'hired assassins' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'gather them in' is the wordplay.
'gather' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'gathered' mean this).
'them'+'in'='themin'
'themin' with letters rearranged gives 'HITMEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hitmen that I've seen is " Offers".)
