Standard or pattern (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norm

I believe this is a double definition.

'standard' is the first definition.
(I know that norm is a type of standard)

'pattern' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Typical pattern' mean 'norm' so perhaps 'pattern' could also mean 'norm')

(Other definitions for norm that I've seen before include "Rule; average" , "Usual or standard thing" , "Standard choice" , "Standard regarded as typical" , "Standard amount or customary behaviour" .)

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