Etymology: "Practicalized" is the past tense and past participle of "practicalize," which is formed from "practical" plus the suffix "-ize," meaning to make or to treat in a particular way. The pattern is a common one in English: "-ize" attaches to adjectives and nouns to build verbs such as "modernize," "legalize," and "standardize," each meaning to make something into what the base word describes. So "practicalize" means to make something practical, and "practicalized" describes the action already done to a plan, theory or idea.
