Alpha males get the final word (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen

'the final word' is the definition.
(last word in a prayer)

'alpha males' is the wordplay.
'alpha' becomes 'a' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'males' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of male).
'a'+'men'='AMEN'

'get' is the link.

(Other definitions for amen that I've seen before include "Name for end to prayer" , "Word at the end of a prayer" , "Conclusion of prayer" , "as agreed!" , "Final word in prayer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
