practice

'routine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's worth obtaining work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'work' could be 'act' ('act' can be a synonym of 'work') and 'act' is found within the answer.
'worth' could be 'price' (price is a kind of worth) and 'price' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
