Each person is quite unexceptional (8)
I believe the answer is:
everyone
'quite unexceptional' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'each person' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'every' (synonyms).
'person' becomes 'one' ('one' can mean an unspecified person).
'every'+'one'='EVERYONE'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for everyone that I've seen before include "All the people" , "Entire group" , "the masses" , "All without exception" , "Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all" .)
