Wise men taking a long time on Sunday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sages

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

'a long time on sunday' is the wordplay.
'a long time' becomes 'ages' (ages can mean a very long time).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'sunday' becomes 's'.
'ages' after 's' is 'SAGES'.

'taking' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sages that I've seen before include "plants" , "Wise men" , "Learned people" , "enlightened people" , "Wise people" .)
