Cliché refers to an expression that has been overused to the extent that it loses its original meaning or novelty. A cliché may also refer to actions and events that are predictable because of some previous events. All examples of cliché are expressions that were once new and fresh.

an idea or expression that has been used too often and is often considered a sign of bad writing or old-fashioned thinking: The story is shamelessly corny, and grownups will groan at its clichés. (Definition of cliché from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary © Cambridge University Press)
