Second fruit bun finally consumed in Anchorage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moorage

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

'anchorage' is the definition.
(I know that moorage is a type of anchorage)

'second fruit bun finally consumed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'second' could be 'mo' (both are short periods of time) and 'mo' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moorage that I've seen before include "Place for a ship to make fast" , "Fee for securing boat" , "Place to fasten" , "Charge for leaving boat" , "Fee paid for tying up a boat" .)
