sunbathe

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

'get' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'brown paper bag without good article' is the wordplay.
'brown paper' becomes 'sun' (The Sun, UK newspaper. I am not sure about the 'brown' bit.).
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'bag' with 'g' removed is 'ba'.
'sun'+'ba'+'the'='SUNBATHE'

Can you help me to learn more?
