Italian term or phrase: contumanza
Can anyone translate this Italian word for me?

Here is an example sentence from a bulletin board: il che forse spiega le ragioni pratiche di questa contumanza.
Chuck
English translation:habit / use
Explanation:
I guess it is costumanza, not contumanza...then the meaning is the reasons explaining a particular habit or tradition
