     Syn: Practice; mode; manner; way; custom; fashion.
  
     Usage: Habit, Custom. Habit is a disposition or tendency
            leading us to do easily, naturally, and with growing
            certainty, what we do often; custom is external, being
            habitual use or the frequent repetition of the same
            act. The two operate reciprocally on each other. The
            custom of giving produces a habit of liberality;
            habits of devotion promote the custom of going to
            church. Custom also supposes an act of the will,
            selecting given modes of procedure; habit is a law of
            our being, a kind of ``second nature'' which grows up
            within us.
