Etymology
The word 'habit' originated from the Latin 'habitare', meaning 'to have, hold or dwell'. It entered the English language in the 12th century with the meaning 'condition or character of something'. Over time, it evolved to also refer to customary behavior or dress. The modern sense of 'habit' as a settled or regular tendency developed in the 16th century.
