Men getting brown stopping in sun (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hombres

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

'men' is the definition.
(hombre is a kind of man)

'brown stopping in sun' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'brown' could be 'br' and 'br' is found in the answer.
'in' could be 'home' ('he's in' can mean 'he's home') and 'home' is found within the remaining letters.
'sun' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'getting' is the link.
