Often the origin of a word can reveal a great deal about its true meaning. This is certainly true of the words "habit and addiction", which entered the English language many centuries ago. "Addict" is a term that originated in Roman law, when it referred to a person who was "formally made over or bound to another or attached by restrain or obligation." "Habit", on the other hand, originally referred to the way in which a person held or exhibited himself, as in his manner of dress. The original meaning of "habit" has been retained in the essential expressions "nun’s habit" and "riding habit". The difference in etymology reflects the essential difference between the actual phenomena of habit and addiction. The principal characteristics of addiction is a loss of control and freedom, while a habit is something that is assumed, perhaps often, but that can nevertheless, be removed if desired.
