Looks like

habit

a regular tendency or practice

⚠️ The trap

English speakers guess 'abito' means habit because of the shared Latin root. In modern Italian 'abito' is clothing. For a habit or custom, say 'abitudine'.

To say "a regular tendency or practice" in Italian:

abitudine

"abito" in English means:

dress, suit (clothing); habit (archaic/literary)

Example

"Ha indossato un abito elegante per la cerimonia."

"She wore an elegant dress for the ceremony."
