Syn :
Custom ;
use ;
habit .
Usage : {
Usage }, {
Custom }.
These words ,
as here compared ,
agree in expressing the idea of habitual practice ;
but a custom is not necessarily a usage .
A custom may belong to many ,
or to a single individual .
A usage properly belongs to the great body of a people .
Hence ,
we speak of usage ,
not of custom ,
as the law of language .
Again ,
a custom is merely that which has been often repeated ,
so as to have become ,
in a good degree ,
established .
A usage must be both often repeated and of long standing .
Hence ,
we speak of a "
hew custom ,"
but not of a "
new usage ."
Thus ,
also ,
the "
customs of society "
is not so strong an expression as the "
usages of society ." "
Custom ,
a greater power than nature ,
seldom fails to make them worship ." --
Locke . "
Of things once received and confirmed by use ,
long usage is a law sufficient ."
--
Hooker .
In law ,
the words usage and custom are often used interchangeably ,
but the word custom also has a technical and restricted sense .

Long and uniform practice .
In its most extensive meaning this term includes custom and prescription ,
though it differs from them in a narrower sense ,
it is applied to the habits ,
modes ,
and course of dealing which are observed in trade generally ,
as to all mercantile transactions ,
or to some particular branches of trade .
2 .
Usage of trade does not require to be immemorial to establish it ;
if it be known ,
certain ,
uniform ,
reasonable ,
and not contrary to law ,
it is sufficient .
But evidence of a few instances that such a thing has been done does not establish a usage .

The usages of trade afford ground upon which a proper construction may be given to contracts .
By their aid the indeterminate intention of parties and the nature and extent of their contracts arising from mere implications or presumptions ,
and act of an equivocal character may be ascertained ;
and the meaning of words and doubtful expressions may become known .
