The word praxis appears neither in Benson, nor in Wells, nor in Vikivortaro, nor in ReVo. (I tried prakso in the online PIV, but got no hit.) So, how would you render praxis in Esperanto?

I’m surprised that the word prakso doesn’t appear in dictionaries yet. I happen to remember precisely that I heard it for the first time in Zagreb in 1988, and I’ve heard and used it often ever since. It appears in:

and several other webpages...

De PIV:

praktiko Apliko de la reguloj aŭ principoj de arto aŭ scienco, kontraste kun la teorio mi finis la universitaton k komencis mian medicinan praktikonZ; post kelka praktiko oni facile alkutimiĝas al la uzado de «vi»Z; plej efika prediko estas praktiko; praktiko konvinkis min, ke la lingvo bezonas ian nekapteblan «ion»Z.

Seems this one is correct

Praxis = Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practising ideas. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process)

He acted on the theory = Li efektivigis la teorion.
