Lacking originality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banal

'lacking originality' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for banal that I've seen before include "lacking interest?" , "Tediously unoriginal" , "Ordinary and uninteresting" , "Tediously commonplace" , "flat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.
