Practical; put on (7)
I believe the answer is:
applied
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'practical' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'put on' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for applied that I've seen before include "Put oneself forward, for a job say" , "Put in (for a job) - not pure" , "Asked (for job); not pure (maths)" , "Put into practice or requested" , "Practical rather than theoretical" .)
