'Angewandt' (applied) is the past participle of the separable verb 'anwenden' (to apply/use). The meaning 'used in practice' comes directly from this verb, which means 'to use' or 'to apply.'

practical / virtually
'praktisch' and 'angewandt' can both mean the opposite of purely theoretical. 'praktisch' is broader and fits many everyday situations when the focus is on practice, application, or real use. 'angewandt' is used more in education, science, or specialized fields when a theory is used for real problems. You can confuse the words because both emphasize practice. In normal conversation, 'praktisch' is usually more natural; in names of subjects or scientific fields, 'angewandt' fits better.
