habit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how one gets into the bath' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'regular thing' is the wordplay.
'regular' becomes 'hab' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'thing' becomes 'it'.
'hab'+'it'='HABIT'

'is a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for habit that I've seen before include "addictive practice" , "What might one have a regular tendency to" , "Addiction to a drug" , "nun gets into" , "bent" .)
