“To Daisy!” he may cry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toaster

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

'he may cry' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'to daisy' is the wordplay.
'daisy' becomes 'aster' (I've seen this before).
'to'+'aster'='TOASTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toaster that I've seen before include "Electrical kitchen appliance" , "wedding present?" , "something in kitchen" , "In the morning, this device used" , "to get bread browner?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
