Stop cleaner hiding man (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deter

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

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for deter that I've seen before include "stop" , "Hinder, prevent" , "Put off (from an action)" , "Prevent by instilling fear" , "Daunt" .)
