About This Root
From Latin habitāre (to dwell), frequentative of habēre (to have, hold). Branches into two semantic fields: dwelling (habitat, habitable, inhabitant, cohabit) and repeated behavior (habit, habitual, habituate) — the link being that a habit is something you 'hold' or 'occupy' repeatedly.
