usual dicts def, doesn't tell me much about the word.
Ch def: 一般的情理。-- and we have 情理: /sense/reason/ !

' common sense' in several instances on J, one step better. Not totally satisfied.
It's difficult to find examples which would definitely show the meaning, independently from English rendering.

LA example:
「按常情,兒女會孝順父母的」
J example:
According to the normal,I should accept her invitation.
按照常情,我应该接受她的邀请。
Dicts would have us translate "it stands to reason that..."
But I think it's more "common sentiment", "conventional attitude"

K has also
◊ normal occurrence
which, well, sounds like a likely abbreviation.
Diff:
- 常情 常情 [chang2 qing2] /reason/sense/
# tentatively
+ 常情 常情 [chang2 qing2] /common sense/the way people usually feel about things/
