One root covers both the private habit and the shared custom, and context sorts out which is meant. The really useful derivative is the adverb , meaning usually, which turns up in nearly every paragraph of ordinary prose. The verb means to be in the habit of doing something, so says I usually wake early. Do not read it as customising anything. i is to get used to something, and it takes , not the accusative.
