Wont describes a usual behavior, a habitual behavior, to become used to a habitual behavior. Wont may be used as a noun, adjective or verb. Wont comes from the Old English gewunod in the past participle, wunian, which means to dwell, to become accustomed.
Won’t is a contraction of will not. The word won’t appears in the mid-1400s as wynnot, it morphs into wonnot in the 1580s and took its current form as won’t in the 1660s.
