Face carrying pot daily (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diurnal

'daily' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'face carrying pot' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'dial' (face of a clock).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'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 "Of the day, not the night" , "Happening daily" , "Active during the day" , "in daylight" , "I run lad in daily mode, not nocturnal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
