Amen - A Little Word With a Big Secret

How many of you have said the word Amen at the end of a prayer?
Many of us will have uttered the word on countless occasions, without really giving it a second thought.......Amen is often cited as the best known word in human speech!
I have a vague recollection of a drab RE (Religious education) lesson, where it was explained that the word "Amen" means "so be it".
So why don't we say "so be it" at the end of a prayer? If someone has gone to the trouble to translate entire bible texts and associated prayers - why does this particular word remain in its original form?
"So be it" is a short phrase, easy to say, and everyone understands the meaning.
