Accustomation

/ˌækəstuːˈmeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or process of becoming accustomed to something; habituation.

Etymology

From Old French accoustumer, from à (to) + coustume (custom), with the -ation suffix creating a noun of action. The word entered English in the 15th century.

Kelly Says

Accustomation reveals how our brains work—we need repeated exposure to things before they feel normal, which is why jet lag exists and why kids whine about new foods until they've tried them dozens of times.
