Syn: Custom; use; habit.
Usage:
Usage,
Custom. These words, as here compared,
agree in expressing the idea of habitual practice; but
a custom is not necessarily a usage. A custom may
belong to many, or to a single individual. A usage
properly belongs to the great body of a people. Hence,
we speak of usage, not of custom, as the law of
language. Again, a custom is merely that which has
been often repeated, so as to have become, in a good
degree, established. A usage must be both often
repeated and of long standing. Hence, we speak of a
“hew custom,” but not of a
“new usage.” Thus,
also, the
“customs of society” is not so strong an
expression as the
“usages of society.” “Custom, a
greater power than nature, seldom fails to make them
worship.” --Locke.
“Of things once received and
confirmed by use, long usage is a law sufficient.”
--Hooker. In law, the words usage and custom are often
used interchangeably, but the word custom also has a
technical and restricted sense. See
Custom, n., 3.
[1913 Webster]
