Judicious, prudent (7)
I believe the answer is:
politic
I believe this is a double definition.
'judicious' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'prudent' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for politic that I've seen before include "Prudent and tactful" , "constitutional" , "Wise, cautious" , "artful" , "Diplomatic" .)
