Face taking pot daily (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diurnal

'daily' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'face taking pot' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'dial' (face of a clock).
'taking' indicates putting letters inside.
'pot' becomes 'urn' (urn is a kind of pot).
'dial' placed around 'urn' is 'DIURNAL'.

(Other definitions for diurnal that I've seen before include "Circadian" , "Daily; during the daytime" , "every day" , "I run lad in daily mode, not nocturnal" , "Occurring daily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
