Etymology
1. c.1225, from O.Fr.
habit, from L.
habitus "condition, demeanor, appearance, dress," originally pp. of
habere "to have, to hold, possess," from PIE base
*ghab(h)- "to seize, take, hold, have, give, receive" (cf. Skt.
gabhasti- "hand, forearm;" O.Ir.
gaibim "I take, hold, I have,"
gabal "act of taking;" Lith.
gabana "armful,"
gabenti "to remove;" Goth.
gabei "riches;" O.E.
giefan, O.N.
gefa "to give"). Base sense probably "to hold," which can be either in offering or in taking. Applied in Latin to both inner and outer states of being, and taken over in both sense by English, though meaning of "dress" is now restricted to monks and nuns. Drug sense is from 1887.
Habitual first attested 1526.
2. From Middle English habiten, from Old French habiter, from Latin habitāre (“to dwell, abide, keep”), frequentative of habeō (“to have, hold, keep”); see have. See: Latin '
habitō'.
