[Middle English, past participle of wonen, to be used to, dwell; see won1.]Usage Note: The most traditionally correct pronunciations of wont are (wōnt), the common pronunciation in Britain, sounding like the contraction won't, and (wŭnt), the historic American pronunciation, rhyming with hunt. However, the most common form of wont in contemporary American speech is probably (wônt), which to most people's ears sounds similar to (or even identical with) the word want. This (wônt) pronunciation may in fact be motivated by a confusion of the meanings of wont and want, both of which have to do with personal inclination. In any case, all three of these pronunciations are acceptable, though the historic (wŭnt) pronunciation may strike some listeners as odd or affected.wont (wəʊnt) adj (postpositive) accustomed (to doing something): he was wont to come early. na manner or action habitually employed by or associated with someone (often in the phrases as is my wont, as is his wont, etc)vb (when tr, usually passive) to become or cause to become accustomed[Old English gewunod, past participle of wunian to be accustomed to; related to Old High German wunēn (German wohnen), Old Norse una to be satisfied; see wean1, wish, winsome]wont (wɔnt, woʊnt, wʌnt)
