Average guy (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'average' is the first definition.
('norm' can be a synonym of 'average')

'guy' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for norm that I've seen before include "Drawing stick" , "Something typical" , "Average level of achievement" , "Typical pattern or situation" , "Standard considered to be representative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
