Clear the flat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plain

This clue is a double definition.

'clear' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'flat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plain that I've seen before include "not attractive" , "Straightforward" , "Clear - open - grassland" , "Unprepossessing" , "Undecorated; flat area" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
