ordinariness
State of typicality
Ordinariness is the quality of being unremarkable or commonplace.
It can be neutral—simply describing what's typical—or carry a slight dismissal: The ordinariness of suburban life bored her.
Sometimes ordinariness is valued precisely for its lack of pretension: There was a comforting ordinariness to their routine.
