applies
Puts into practice
Applies is the present-tense form of apply.
To apply is to put something to use or into action: She applies pressure to the wound.
It also means to be relevant: This rule applies to everyone.
When applying for something—a job, a visa, admission—you formally request consideration.
He applies himself to his studies means he works diligently at them.
