Crossword Genius

Second in importance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moment

This clue is a double definition.

'second' is the first definition.
(I know that second can be written as moment)

'importance' is the second definition.
(I know that moment is a type of significance)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for moment that I've seen before include "Second, importance" , "Second, flash" , "An exact point of time" , "Instant - importance" , "A very brief portion of time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
