I believe the answer is:

banal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">trite</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">commonplace</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that commonplace can be written as banal)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for banal that I've seen before include "Boring or trivial" , "Uninspiring" , "tired" , "'Trite, time-worn (5)'" , "lacking interest?" .)
