It has been given as stemming from "hack" "a bad writer". I would like to consider it as coming from HACKNEY, the London Borough. Since Hackney cabs originated there and all were one shape, size and colour, the term "hackneyed" was coined to mean commonplace, dull, boring, even "overused". Probably just my wishful thinking.
