Each day, sent in to cut one of these? (6)

I believe the answer is:

meadow

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

'one of these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'each day sent in to cut' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'sent in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'to cut' becomes 'mow' (as in mowing a lawn).
'ea'+'d'='ead'
'ead' put inside 'mow' is 'MEADOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meadow that I've seen before include "Pasture" , "Paddock" , "Piece of grassland" , "Low ground near river" , "Low-lying grassland" .)
