You, minus the address, plus the obligation to stay.
means A person who lives in a particular place, as opposed to someone just passing through.
from From Latin inhabitare, 'to dwell in' — a combo of in ('in') and habitare ('to live, to have possession of'), itself a frequentative of habere ('to have, to hold'). So at its root, to inhabit is to repeatedly 'have' a place — to hold onto it by the simple act of staying there.
