Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'daily' (every day) combined with 'crucifixion' (intense torment); together they straightforwardly yield 'intense suffering endured each day.' While 'crucifixion' carries a strong religious/metaphorical charge, the compositional logic is clear and predictable for a learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Daily crucifixion uses the strong image of someone being crucified again and again, with daily meaning every day. That's why people use it to describe 'suffering every day' or hard things you must face all the time.
