wont
One's typical way
Wont means accustomed or habituated, typically in the phrase as is his wont or as she is wont to do.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing mainly in formal writing.
As a noun, a wont is a habit or custom: It was his wont to rise early.
Not to be confused with won't, the contraction of will not.
