The unit of life small enough to ignore and large enough to become everything.

means Happening, done, or recurring every day, often describing routines, habits, or things measured in single-day increments.

from From Old English dæglic, built on dæg "day" — the same dæg that gives us "day" itself, rooted in a Proto-Germanic *dagaz. The "-ly" is the familiar Old English suffix -lic meaning "having the form or character of," the same one that turns "friend" into "friendly." So "daily" is literally "day-like" — a word that has quietly recurred in English, fittingly, almost every day for over a thousand years.
