Kanji 呼 call, call out to, invite 慣 accustomed, get used to, become experienced Similar words 呼よ ぶ 呼ぶ simply means 'to call' or 'to name', without the nuance of habituation. 呼び習わす adds the sense of becoming accustomed to calling someone or something in a certain way.
慣な れる 慣れる means 'to get used to' in general. 呼び習わす specifically refers to getting used to a particular way of calling or addressing.
Etymology Compound of 呼び (continuative form of 呼ぶ 'to call') + 習わす (causative of 習う 'to learn, to become accustomed'), literally 'to make oneself learn to call'. The spelling variants reflect different kanji for the 'accustom' element.
get used to, experienced, tamed
