Time to get comfort missing second prize (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasure

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

'prize' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'time to get comfort missing second' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
'second' could be 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education) and 're' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treasure that I've seen before include "Prize highly" , "Accumulated wealth, could be buried" , "much-loved person" , "Hold dearly, like buried gold etc" , "Classic adventure story" .)
