The term habit has several applications in English: A personal habit is one which shows a habitual routine that is not consciously considered, known as habituation. The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it bees a great cable and binds us irrevocably in thought and act. -Orison Swett Marden.In clothing, a habit is the customary dress appropriate to a vocation or activity; specifically: In a religious context, habit refers to the distinctive garment(s) worn by members of religious orders, e.g., for Catholic orders, it is normally prised of a tunic, often covered by a scapular and cowl. For men the hood is part of the habit, for women the veil. Modern variations may not include all of the aforementioned; and the remaining parts may be considerably simplified to make them better suited for modern living. After the petulancy with a particular religious munity, the newer, having declared the intention of wishing to undergo a formal novitiate and been accepted by the munity, strips off the secular clothes worn hitherto and gets dressed by the superior in the habit of the munity a special ceremony called the clothing.
