unspectacular

/ˌənspɛkˈtækjəɫɝ/ adj

Not spectacular.

Word Origin From Latin spectare 'to look at' — a spectacle is something worth seeing. Spectacular means eye-catching, impressive. Unspectacular means not impressive, ordinary. The same root gives us inspect (look into), respect (look back at), and spectator (one who looks). So unspectacular is like a view that doesn't make you turn your head.
