1. custom, habit, established practice — A habitual practice, tradition, or established way of doing things, especially in religious or legal contexts (Luke 1:9, 2:42; John 19:40; Acts 6:14, 15:1, 16:21, 21:21, 25:16, 26:3, 28:17; Heb 10:25). The two clusters differ only in grammatical number: singular (S66275: spa 'costumbre', swa 'desturi', arb 'adati' عَادَةِ, kor 'gwanseubi' 관습이) versus plural (S66276: spa 'costumbres', hin 'ritiyon' रीतियों, arb 'al-adati' الْعَادَاتِ, kor 'gwanseuldeul' 관습들을). Swahili 'desturi' is identical in both, confirming a single lexical sense. 12×
