Of the people (7)
I believe the answer is:
demotic
'of the people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for demotic that I've seen before include "vulgar?" , "Of language or writing, of the popular form" , "It'd come (anag) - of the common people" , "Common (language)" , "Colloquial; of the people" .)
