Tolerate a way that’s far from unusual (8)
I believe the answer is:
standard
'that's far from unusual' is the definition.
(standard is the opposite of unusual)
'tolerate a way' is the wordplay.
'tolerate' becomes 'stand' (synonyms).
'way' becomes 'rd' (short for road).
'stand'+'a'+'rd'='STANDARD'
(Other definitions for standard that I've seen before include "Established model - flag" , "Ceremonial flag" , "banner" , "Flag - of the usual kind" , "Level of quality; flag" .)
