Somehow it is clear and practical (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

realistic

'practical' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'somehow it is clear' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'it is' becomes 'itis'.
'itis'+'clear'='itisclear'
'itisclear' anagrammed gives 'REALISTIC'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for realistic that I've seen before include "Down-to-earth" , "Lifelike" , "Without illusions, dealing in facts" , "It is clear, being practical and sensible" , "Pragmatic" .)
