Got hold of suitable crossword finally (12)

I believe the answer is:

appropriated

'got hold of' is the definition.

'suitable crossword finally' is the wordplay.
'suitable' becomes 'appropriate' ('appropriate' can be a synonym of 'suitable').
'crossword finally' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'appropriate'+'d'='APPROPRIATED'

(Another definition for appropriated that I've seen is " Stolen".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
