hábito

/ˈabito/ · B1 · noun · m

habit

🧘 hábito = habit; h is silent in Spanish, so it sounds like AH-bee-toh

From Latin habitus, meaning condition or dress, from habere, to have or hold. A habit is something you hold onto. The same root gives the monk's robe, also called a habit, and the Spanish verb habitar, to live in a place.
