The word "inveterate" means having a particular habit, activity or behavior that has existed for a long time and is unlikely to change. It can be used to describe a person who has been doing something for so long that it seems impossible for them to stop.For example, "My grandfather is an inveterate smoker. He has been smoking for over 50 years and it's hard for him to quit."Alternatively, it can be used to describe a negative quality such as being inveterately lazy or inveterately dishonest.It is a relatively formal word and is typically used in writing rather than conversation.
