Daisy is kind of neat to look at (5)

I believe the answer is:

oxeye

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

'daisy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'neat to look at' is the wordplay.
'neat' becomes 'ox' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to look at' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this before).
'ox'+'eye'='OXEYE'

'is kind of' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oxeye that I've seen before include "Flowering herb" , "White and yellow daisy" , "Wild daisy" , "Plant with daisy-like flowers" , "Flower; _ daisy" .)
