quotidian
(adj)
(kwo-tid-ee-uhn)
"occurring or recurring daily"
"commonplace"
I came across this word yesterday in a novel by Doris Lessing
...for this love,which was of the quotidian, daily bread sort...
( referring to middle-aged love)
It prompted me to recall the name of a chain of bakeries I had seen in New York - Le Pain Quotidian, which now makes sense to me, and I can also now pronounce it.
