Tip making primate cross (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apex

'tip' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'primate cross' is the wordplay.
'primate' becomes 'ape' (large primate).
'cross' becomes 'x' (X is cross-shaped).
'ape'+'x'='APEX'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for apex that I've seen before include "The highest point or peak" , "Cheap fare" , "Uppermost tip" , "Top, peak" , "Top, highest part" .)
