Ross

I believe the answer is:

laugh

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

'roar' is the definition.
(I know that roar is a more specific form of laugh)

'irish lake that has taken a second' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'lake' could be 'l' (geographical abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ugh' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'coming from' is the link.
