Person with no time to be virtuous (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moral

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

'virtuous' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'person with no time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'person' could be 'mr' (Mr is an example) and 'mr' is found in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moral that I've seen before include "knowing right from wrong" , "Behaving ethically" , "Virtuous and principled" , "ethical principle" , "Lesson that can be drawn from a story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
