Wont means one's habitual way of doing things. As was his won't means as usual he did the things.

Won't is also a noun, its definition being habit or accustomed behavior for example: Kerry, as is his wont, offered a turbid synonym. [Emory Wheel] And the participial wonted has another adjectival sense usual or habitual.
