Common; ordinary; trite; run-of-the-mill. Describes something encountered so frequently that it has become unremarkable or clichéd.

A pre-nominal adjective formed from the verb 有り触れる (to be ubiquitous, to be found everywhere). Often carries a disappointed or dismissive tone — something that should have been special turns out to be tediously ordinary. Also written in hiragana as ありふれた. Common in literary and critical writing.
