'in one's mouth' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'code letter' is the wordplay.
'code' becomes 'Morse' (Morse code).
'letter' becomes 'l' ().
'morse'+'l'='MORSEL'

'put' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morsel that I've seen before include "Crumb" , "a little food" , "(Tasty) bit" , "Small amount of food, a bite" , "Tiny piece" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
