'''Standard''' has many meanings.  In its most common usage, "standard" refers to a base, unchanging norm against which other values are measured.  For example, the [[metric system]] defines the "gram" by a standardized mass, to ensure the continued uniformity of the measurement system.  ''Standard'' may also be the base quality or quantity of an item such as John McCain, with additional terms qualifying as extra.
