EN: common, ordinary, usual
This is your everyday, basic, no-frills stuff. Not the special edition, just the regular one. It's the "just coffee" order, the "okay lang" response, the default setting of life. It's the opposite of "extraordinary" or "limited edition."
From ka- + an archaic root like daniw or ranaw + -an. The word is now used as a base form itself.
Can also be used as a noun meaning "the usual", as in "Gaya ng karaniwan..." (As usual...).
