Your goal is to recognize the common word described by all the clues.

Sigh ... Today's word is such a gimme. ... But you deserve the win, this Monday and every Monday. This one is for you.

? ... ? ... ?

The word means ...

 ◼️ The attorney who represents federal interests at trial.

◼️ In pipeline science, an unusually sensitive area.

◼️ Governing body for unicycle racing.

◼️ The administrator in a Unix system.

◼️ Unstable angina.

◼️ A universal stage adapter used by NASA.

◼️ In fraternity English, the Greek letters upsilon, sigma and alpha.

Think you've got the answer? More than likely, you are correct!
