Function: noun

Etymology: French, from past participle of habituer (to frequent), from Late Latin habituare (to habituate), from Latin habitus. Date: 1818

1 : a person who may be regularly found in or at a particular place or kind of place

2 : devotee

Synonyms: denizen, patron

Usage: He became a habitué of the cabaret, and a domino enthusiast. To go and shut himself up, night after night, in a dingy public room and rattle about little black-spotted bone cubes on a marble-topped table, seemed to him a precious symbol of freedom and raised him in his own esteem. (from Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert)
