Live wearing nun’s costume? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inhabit

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

'live' is the definition.
(I know that live can be written as inhabit)

'wearing nun's costume?' is the wordplay.
'wearing' becomes 'in' (in jeans or in a dress).
'nun's costume?' becomes 'habit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'habit'='INHABIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inhabit that I've seen before include "Tenant" , "Occupy - settle" , "Occupy (dwelling)" , "Live in, occupy" , "Live in (a place)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
