Crossword Genius

Daily grabs one seat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chair

'seat' is the definition.
(chair is a kind of seat)

'daily grabs one' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'char' (I've seen this before).
'grabs' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'char' going around 'i' is 'CHAIR'.

(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "Professoriate" , "Head of a university faculty or department" , "Item of furniture (which can be addressed!)" , "conduct" , "What professor has" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
