Typical; flag (8)
I believe the answer is:
standard
This clue is a double definition.
'typical' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'flag' is the second definition.
(I know that standard is a type of flag)
(Other definitions for standard that I've seen before include "Reference point, benchmark" , "Typical, normal" , "Flag - of the usual kind" , "Flag - level of attainment" , "Level of quality; flag" .)
