Crossword Genius

Dull fashion dies out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tedious

'dull' is the definition.
(I know that dull can be written as tedious)

'fashion dies out' is the wordplay.
'fashion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dies'+'out'='diesout'
'diesout' with letters rearranged gives 'TEDIOUS'.

(Other definitions for tedious that I've seen before include "not exciting" , "Banal" , "Wearisome, boring" , "flat" , "Tiresome, boring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
