Overworked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trite

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">overworked</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for trite that I've seen before include "Overfamiliar through overuse" , "all vigour is gone" , "Banal, commonplace" , "(Of an idea) lacking in originality" , "repeated too often" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
