different between habitual vs custom
habitual
English
Etymology
The adjective is derived from Late Middle English habitual (“of one's inherent disposition”), from Medieval Latin habitu?lis (“customary; habitual”), from Latin habitus (“character; disposition; habit; physical or emotional condition; attire, dress”) + -?lis (suffix forming adjectives of relationship); analysable as habit +? -ual. Habitus is derived from habe? (“to have; to hold; to own; to possess”) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *g?eh?b?- (“to grab, take”)) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs).
The noun is derived from the adjective.

custom
English
Etymology
From Middle English custume, borrowed from Anglo-Norman custume, from Old French coustume, from a Vulgar Latin *c?nsu?t?men or *cost?men, from Latin c?nsu?t?dinem, accusative singular of c?nsu?t?d? (“custom, habit”), from c?nsu?sc? (“accustom, habituate”), from con- (“with”) + su?sc? (“become used or accustomed to”). First element con- derives from cum, from Old Latin com, from Proto-Italic *kom, from Proto-Indo-European *?óm (“with, along”). Second element su?sc? is from Proto-Indo-European *swe-d?h?-sk-, from *swé (“self”) + *d?eh?- (“to put, place, set”); related to Latin suus (“one's own, his own”). Displaced native Middle English wune, wone (“custom, habit, practice”) (from Old English wuna (“custom, habit, practice, rite”)), Middle English side, sid (“custom”) (from Old English sidu, sido (“custom, note, manner”)), Middle English cure (“custom, choice, preference”) (from Old English cyre (“choice, choosing, free will”)). Doublet of costume and consuetude.
Adjective form circa 1830.
