Practicality; authenticity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

realism

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'practicality' is the first definition.
(I know that realism is a type of practicality)

'authenticity' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for realism that I've seen before include "Rationality" , "Acceptance of the facts" , "Acceptance of life as it is" , "Artistic movement representing people and things as they actually are" , "Art genre that is true to life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
