Person who is not a member of the aristocracy (8)

I believe the answer is:

commoner

(Other definitions for commoner that I've seen before include "He's not a member of the nobility" , "more frequently encountered" , "Less rare; no aristocrat" , "Someone not aristocratic or royal" , "certain type of undergraduate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
