dailiness

The mundane recurrence

Dailiness is the quality of being daily—the routine, ordinary texture of everyday life.

The word emphasizes repetition and mundanity rather than the exceptional: the dailiness of domestic chores, the comforting dailiness of morning coffee.

It often carries philosophical weight in discussions of how meaning emerges from ordinary existence.
