means The natural environment where a particular plant or animal lives and thrives.
from Straight from Latin habitat, meaning 'it dwells' or 'it inhabits' — the third-person form of habitare, 'to live in,' itself a frequentative of habere, 'to have or hold.' The word entered scientific use because old natural-history texts, written in Latin, would literally note 'habitat' beside a species to say where it lives — and the label stuck as the thing itself.
