different between habitual vs habituate
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.
