accustoming
Making something familiar
Accustoming is the process of making familiar through repeated exposure or practice.
You accustom yourself to something by experiencing it until it no longer feels strange or difficult: She was accustoming herself to the early morning commute.
The word implies gradual adjustment rather than sudden acceptance.
