Morphology
The meaning 'to implement or apply an idea' is directly and compositionally derived from 'put' (place/bring into a state) + 'into' (change into) + 'practice' (the state of doing or applying something). This is a common, cross-linguistic construction (e.g. Spanish 'poner en práctica', French 'mettre en pratique') and follows ordinary English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase put into practice comes from the image of taking a plan on paper and actually putting it into practice, like moving an idea into real work. So it means 'to apply' a plan or idea in real life.
