I didn't know that about habit, but I wonder if there isn't some double meaning in the word since it once referred to clothes in general, among other things, only now to be used in reference to the clothing of monks and nuns, men and women of god.

"originally past participle of habere "to have, hold, possess; wear; find oneself, be situated; consider, think, reason, have in mind; manage, keep," from PIE root *ghabh- "to give or receive."
