Girl in time seen to be ordinary? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

average

'to be ordinary?' is the definition.
('average' can be similar in meaning to 'ordinary')

'girl in time' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'vera' (**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time).
'vera' put within 'age' is 'AVERAGE'.

'seen' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for average that I've seen before include "Mean - everyday" , "Normal in arithmetic way" , "Mean; standard" , "Fair to middling" , "Usual - mediocre - mean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
