Almost, almost sensible and down-to-earth! (9)
I believe the answer is:
practical
This clue might be a double definition.
'almost almost sensible' is the first definition.
'practical' can be an answer for 'sensible' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'almost almost' bit.
'down-to-earth' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for practical that I've seen before include "type of joker" , "Functional, pragmatic" , "Pragmatic, hard-nosed" , "Down to earth - like Eliot's Cats" , "Feasible; realistic" .)
