Handy

UTILE

["Think of a Latin-derived word meaning \"useful\" or \"practical,\" often seen in phrases like \"multi___ tools.\""]

"Handy" here isn’t about tools or convenience—it’s a playful nod to the Latin word utile, meaning "useful." The clue relies on the double meaning of "handy," which can describe something practical or helpful, mirroring utile’s definition. Think of it as a straightforward synonym swap with a classical twist, common in crosswords that borrow from other languages. No tricks, just a clean link between the everyday word and its Latin cousin.
