Typical anger after Latin salutation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

average

'typical' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anger after latin salutation' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'latin salutation' becomes 'ave' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rage' put after 'ave' is 'AVERAGE'.

(Other definitions for average that I've seen before include "Mean, median or middling" , "Arithmetical mean" , "building society customer loses capital over time" , "Normal in arithmetic way" , "Normal amount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
