In summary

From Old English gewunod, past participle of ġewunian (“to be accustomed to, dwell”), possibly as a conflation of wone (“custom, habit, practice”) and wont (participle adjective, below).
Compare German Low German Gewohnte (“custom, habit”), Dutch gewoonte, Swedish van. Likely related to wone, wonder, wean, and win.
