Practicing

/ˈpræktəsɪŋ/ verb

Definition

repeatedly performing an activity to improve skill; actively engaging in a profession

Etymology

from Old French practiser, from Medieval Latin practicare, from Greek praktikos 'practical'

Kelly Says

Practice literally means 'doing practical things' - the Greeks knew that theory without action is useless! That's why we say 'practice makes perfect' rather than 'thinking makes perfect.'
