Call to mind being fine during the previous day (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evoke

'call to mind' is the definition.
('evoke' can be a synonym of 'call to mind')

'fine during the previous day' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'ok' ('OK' can be a synonym of 'fine').
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'the previous day' becomes 'eve' (I've seen this before).
'ok' going into 'eve' is 'EVOKE'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for evoke that I've seen before include "bring forth" , "Call up as from memory" , "Conjure up" , "Awaken memories in the mind" , "Raise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
