Literal (7)

I believe the answer is:

prosaic

'literal' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for prosaic that I've seen before include "Dull - pedestrian" , "Poetry would not be so" , "Unimaginative - air cops (anag)" , "Ordinary - not poetical" , "So Capri! (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
