habitus

== English == === Etymology === From Latin habitus (“habit”), from habeō (“have; maintain”). The plural habiti is a misconstruction, as the Latin plural is in fact habitūs. habiti may have been influenced by Latin habitī, the plural of the participle habitus; however, it is not the etymon of the English term. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhæ.bɪ.təs/ === Noun === habitus (usually uncountable, plural habiti or habitus or habituses) (zoology) Habitude; mode of life; bearing. (zoology, chiefly invertebrates) General appearance. (botany) habit (anatomy, medicine) the general shape and appearance of the body, usually with reference to weight, adipose distribution, posture, and gait; most often called by the collocation body habitus. (sociology) The lifestyle, values, dispositions and expectations of particular social groups that are acquired through the activities and experiences of everyday life. (liturgy) The liturgical clothing of monks, nuns and the clerical community, metaphorically referring to the religious mode of life. ==== Usage notes ==== The main distinction between usage in botany versus zoology is that a plant's habit is a more or less technical statement of its growth form and structure (e.g. liana vs. tree vs. acaulescent herbaceous), while in zoology, the habitus is often not even qualified or described other than to serve as a more technical statement that the taxon resembles another. This is especially common for Hexapoda and Arachnida. ==== Derived terms ==== cleft habitus ==== Translations ==== === References === “habitus”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C.
