Etymology

1. Borrowed from Anglo-Norman custume, from Latin cōnsuētūdinem. First attested in c. 1200.
2. As evidenced by forms such as custome, forms with initial stress and concomitant vowel reduction were common from an early stage (perhaps reinforced by forms such as custumable); though compare the rime custume:volume in the Wife of Bath's Tale. See: Latin Nouns 'cōnsuētūdō'.
