Etymology
'habitually-dismissed' originates from the combination of 'habitual' and 'dismissed'. 'Habitual' comes from Latin 'habitualis', meaning 'customary', and 'dismissed' from Latin 'dimittere', meaning 'send away'.
'Habitual' evolved from Latin 'habitualis' through Old French 'habituel', and 'dismissed' from Latin 'dimittere' through Old French 'desmettre'.
Initially, 'habitual' meant 'customary' and 'dismissed' meant 'sent away'. Together, they evolved to mean 'regularly ignored'.
