What does “habit” mean?
habit
Oh, this is a good one to know!
A habit is something you do regularly, almost without thinking — it's part of your daily routine.
Like, if you drink a hot drink every morning before doing anything else, that's a habit. Or if you always check your phone right before bed — yep, that's a habit too. You might say "I have a bad habit of biting my nails" or "She has a great habit of going for a walk every evening."
Habits can be good or bad! "Breaking a habit" means stopping something you always do — like "I'm trying to break the habit of staying up too late." And "forming a habit" means starting something new regularly.
So basically, a habit is something you do so often that it feels automatic.
