So vertraut mit etwas, dass es nicht mehr neu oder fremd ist.

The German word "gewohnt" is an adjective meaning "accustomed" or "familiar". It derives from the verb "wohnen," which means "to live" or "to reside," suggesting a sense of familiarity through frequent exposure in a particular environment or situation.

Similar words in German include "gewöhnlich" (usual or habitual) and "vertraut" (familiar or intimate). The difference is that "gewöhnlich" emphasizes what is typical or normal, while "gewohnt" focuses on being used to something specific, and "vertraut" implies a deeper personal familiarity or closeness.
