"habitus" meaning in English

See habitus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: habiti [plural], habitus [plural], habituses [plural]
Etymology: From Latin habitus (“habit”), from habeō (“have; maintain”). The plural habiti is a misconstruction, as the Latin plural is in fact habitūs. This is reflected by the English plural habitus, which is occasionally encountered. habiti may have been influenced by Latin habitī, the plural of the participle habitus; however, it is not the etymon of the English term.
