Get on in time for an award (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

honour

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

'for an award' is the definition.
('honour' can be a synonym of 'award')

'get on in time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 'hour' (unit of time) and 'hour' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for honour that I've seen before include "Privilege" , "Show respect towards, parents say" , "Respect or venerate" , "Integrity or outward symbol of distinction" , "prize" .)
