Superficial, routine (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perfunctory

I believe this is a double definition.

'superficial' is the first definition.
(I know that superficial can be written as perfunctory)

'routine' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for perfunctory that I've seen before include "Not thorough" , "Merely formal" , "Careless or cursory" , "Hasty and superficial" , "Done as a formality only" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
