Detective Inspector to come up and record daily (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diarise

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

'record daily' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'detective inspector to come up' is the wordplay.
'detective inspector' becomes 'DI'.
'to come up' becomes 'arise' ('arise' can be a synonym of 'come up').
'di'+'arise'='DIARISE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diarise that I've seen before include "imitate Bridget Jones" , "Make a note of (an appointment) (S, not Z)" , "What would Bridget Jones do?" .)
