Crossword Genius

Each day cuts surrounding pastures (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meadows

'pastures' is the definition.

'each day cuts surrounding' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea'.
'day' becomes 'd'.
'cuts' becomes 'mows' (mowing is a kind of cutting).
'surrounding' indicates putting letters inside.
'ea'+'d'='ead'
'ead' going within 'mows' is 'MEADOWS'.

(Other definitions for meadows that I've seen before include "Grassy fields" , "Fields of grass" , "As mowed (anag)" , "Paddocks" , "where you find grasses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
