habitante

/abiˈtante/ · B2 · adj

inhabitant

🏠 habitante = habit + ante: someone who inhabits; cf. English inhabitant

From Latin habitare, to dwell, the same root as habitat and inhabit. The -ante ending works like English -ant: an inhabitant is one who dwells, so habitante is the one who lives in a place.
