Late Middle English: from Old French practiser or medieval Latin practizare, alteration of practicare 'perform, carry out', from practica 'practice', from Greek praktikē, feminine (used as a noun), of praktikos (see practical).

The rule that in English English (but not US) the verb practise is spelled with an ‘s’ and the noun with a ‘c’ is drilled into schoolchildren, but has only been standardized since the 18th century. The ‘s’ of the verb comes from Old French practiser, the noun keeping the original ‘c’, on the pattern of pairs such as advise, advice. The source is Latin practica ‘practice’, from Greek praktikē ‘concerned with action’.
