Overworked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trite

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for trite that I've seen before include "Overfamiliar through overuse" , "all vigour is gone" , "Banal, commonplace" , "(Of an idea) lacking in originality" , "repeated too often" .)

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