Trite, commonplace (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banal

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'commonplace' is the second definition.
(I know that commonplace can be written as banal)

(Other definitions for banal that I've seen before include "Boring or trivial" , "Uninspiring" , "tired" , "'Trite, time-worn (5)'" , "lacking interest?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
