In the morning, speaking with no sense of right or wrong (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amoral

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

'no sense of right or wrong' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in the morning speaking' is the wordplay.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'speaking' becomes 'oral' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'am'+'oral'='AMORAL'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amoral that I've seen before include "Lacking any ethical sense" , "outrageous!" , "Ignoring what's right and wrong" , "Lacking principles" , "Lacking sense of decency" .)
