What does HABIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A settled tendency or practice that a person repeats regularly, often without much conscious thought, and which can be hard to break.
A habit forms through repetition, so an action once requiring effort, such as brushing teeth or checking a phone, eventually happens almost automatically. The word also names the long, loose robe traditionally worn by monks and nuns, a separate sense that survives mainly in descriptions of religious dress. Psychologists study how a habit becomes locked in, and how a stubborn habit can later be replaced with a better one.
How HABIT is used
Extremely common in everyday speech for repeated behavior, with a distinct, less common sense for a monk's or nun's robe.
- He developed a habit of checking the locks twice before bed.
