Daily importance given to ornament (11)
I believe the answer is:
paperweight
'ornament' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'daily importance given' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'paper' (newspaper).
'importance' becomes 'weight' (weight is a kind of importance).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'paper'+'weight'='PAPERWEIGHT'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paperweight that I've seen before include "Leaves controller" , "One used to press leaves" , "Desktop item" , "Heavy desk object" , "One keeps leaves" .)
