'did' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.

'introductions to treasury obtain approval?' is the wordplay.
'introductions to' indicates taking the first letters.
'approval?' becomes 'ok' (OK is an example).
The first letters of 'treasury obtain' is 'to'.
'to'+'ok'='TOOK'

'appropriate' acts as a link.
