I believe the answer is:

appropriate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apt' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'for one's own use' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something) and 'pro' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to take' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
