everyday
Happening all the time
Everyday means ordinary, routine, or encountered regularly: everyday tasks, everyday life, an everyday occurrence.
It describes things that are commonplace rather than special or exceptional.
Do not confuse with the two-word phrase every day, which means each day: I exercise every day.
