Webster's 1828 Dictionary
PRACTICABILITY, PRACTICABLENESS
n.[from practicable. ] The quality or state of being practicable; feasibility.
PRACTICABLE
a. 1. That may be done, effected or performed by human means, or by powers that can be applied. It is sometimes synonymous with possible, but the words differ in this; possible is applied to that which might be performed, if the necessary powers or means could be obtained; practicable is limited in its application to things which are to be performed by the means given, or which may be applied. It was possible for Archimedes to lift the world, but it was not practicable.
2. That may be practiced; as a practicable virtue.
3. That admits of use, or that may be passed or traveled; as a practicable road. In military affairs, a practicable breach is one that can be entered by troops.
PRACTICABLY
adv. In such a manner as may be performed. "A rule practicably applied before his eyes," is not correct language. It is probably a mistake for practically.
PRACTICAL
a.[L. practicus.] Pertaining to practice or action. 1. Capable of practice or active use; opposed to speculative; as a practical understanding.
2. That may be used in practice; that may be applied to use; as practical knowledge.
3. That reduces his knowledge or theories to actual use; as a practical man.
4. Derived from practice or experience; as practical skill or knowledge.
PRACTICALLY
adv. In relation to practice. 1. By means of practice or use; by experiment; as practically wise or skillful.
2. In practice or use; as a medicine practically safe; theoretically wrong, but practically right.
