Green is seen on a daily basis (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

common

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

'green' is the definition.
(I know that green can be written as common)

'seen on a daily basis' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for common that I've seen before include "Familiar or not refined" , "for everyone" , "Widespread; vulgar" , "Occurring frequently, or ill-bred" , "Ordinary; green space" .)
