Last word from alpha males (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen

'last 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'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amen that I've seen before include "Conclusion of prayer" , "Word of agreement" , "Extremist" , "Put name to end of payer" , "Prayerful last word" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
