"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 pseudo-Latin innovation in English, as the plural of the Latin noun is in fact habitūs, with lengthened vowel, the word being an u-stem. This is reflected by the English plural habitus which is occasionally encountered. (The form habitī does exist in Latin as well, but it is irrelevant as it is the plural form of the participle habitus -- and not of the noun habitus which is the source of this English term.)
