Last word I caught written up for film (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cinema

'film' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'last word i caught written up' is the wordplay.
'last word' becomes 'amen' (last word in a prayer).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'written up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'amen'+'i'+'c'='amenic'
'amenic' in reverse letter order is 'CINEMA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cinema that I've seen before include "Film theatre" , "Movie theatre" , "Place of entertainment" , "(Building for) film" , "The flicks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
