To make habitual; to cause something to become a regular habit or customary practice through repetition.
From habitual (from Medieval Latin habitualis) plus the verbal suffix -ize. This term emphasizes the process of transforming actions into automatic habits.
When you habitualize a good behavior like flossing or stretching, your brain's basal ganglia takes over—you stop needing willpower and it becomes automatic, which is why habits are so hard to break.
