1 moor (a ship) to the sea bottom with an anchor : the ship was anchored in the lee of the island | [ intrans. ] we anchored in the harbor.• secure firmly in position : with cords and pitons they anchored him to the rock | the tail is used as a hook with which the fishanchors itself to coral | figurative the first baseman is anchored to the bag.• provide with a firm basis or foundation : it is important that policy be anchored to some acceptable theoretical basis.

2 to act or serve as an anchor for (a news program or sporting event) : she anchored a television documentary series in the early 1980s
