I believe the answer is:

place

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put practically anywhere' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'put practically' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'placed' (I've seen this before).
'practically' means to remove the last letter (practically all of the letters).
'placed' with its last letter taken away is 'PLACE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "Scene; put" , "Locate" , "Site" , "Venue" , "Endearingly pretty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
