Top primate gets kiss (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apex

'top' is the definition.
(apex is a top or peak)

'primate gets kiss' is the wordplay.
'primate' becomes 'ape' (ape is a kind of primate).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'ape'+'x'='APEX'

(Other definitions for apex that I've seen before include "Top, peak" , "Apogee, summit" , "crown" , "climax" , "Uppermost tip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
