Etymology: "Accustomized" is the past tense and past participle of "accustomize," a verb meaning to make someone or something used to a condition or practice. The base verb is formed from "accustom" with the suffix "-ize," which turns a noun or adjective into a verb meaning to make or cause something to be a certain way. "Accustom" itself comes from the Old French "acostumer," built on "costume" in its older sense of custom or habit, so the whole word traces back to the idea of a settled, familiar way of doing things.
Synonyms: accustomed, habituated, acclimatized, familiarized, adapted
