The term “practiced” takes on varied nuances throughout literary discourse, often implying habitual performance, acquired skill, or the systematic application of an activity. It is employed to stress both the rigor of a learned art and the regularity of a tradition—ranging from ceremonial rituals, as in water purifications [1], to the honing of physical or intellectual skills such as music and hunting [2][3]. In historical and cultural contexts, it describes behaviors that are institutionalized or customary, whether in religious rites [4][5] or in practices like medicine and law [6][7]. At times, its use highlights expertise and propriety, as seen with the "practiced" eyes discerning a nuance [8] or the seamless execution of a pianist’s performance [9]. Conversely, it can point to repeated, even if morally questionable, acts such as deception or fraud [10]. Overall, “practiced” conveys a sense of mastery and sustained effort, cementing its role as a descriptor for actions that have been refined through repetition and experience [11][12].
