Inhabited

/ɪnˈhæbɪtɪd/ adjective

Definition

Occupied or lived in by people or other living beings. Describes places that have residents or dwellers.

Etymology

From Latin 'inhabitare' meaning 'to dwell in', composed of 'in-' (in) and 'habitare' (to dwell), from 'habere' (to have or hold). The word entered English through Old French in the 14th century.

Kelly Says

The root 'habit' appears in many English words - from 'habitat' to 'habitual' - all sharing the concept of dwelling or having. Interestingly, when we say a place is 'uninhabited', we're using a double negative prefix (un- + in-), making it one of English's more etymologically complex negations.
