Should this not be 'a man'? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen

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

'should this not' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

''a man'?' is the wordplay.
'man'?' becomes 'men' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'men'='AMEN'

'be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amen that I've seen before include "Name for end to prayer" , "Final word in prayer" , "I agree!" , "prayer's ending" , "Conclusion of prayer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
