It's from the Latin, "traditio" - meaning "to hand over". We get the English word "traitor" from this root. It basically means something that is handed over - passed on from one generation to another.

Tradition: the teachings which the Church has preserved and passed down from Christ, His Apostles, and the unanimous teachings of the early Church Fathers (1 Corinthians 11:2, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 2 Thessalonians 3:6).

Tradition of Men, just like the kind formed by the Pharisees. The ones who Jesus Christ admonished over and over.
Modern Traditions:
1. Baptism by the Holy Spirit is automatically noticed by the visible sign of speaking in tongues.
2. Baptism can mean sprinkling or pouring.
3. Praying to saints

A tradition is a time honored practice.

If you do things the same way over and over it becomes a tradition.

something that is practiced through the ages. we have Christmas and Easter traditions in my family that, through word of mouth only, we know date back 350 years. unfortunately, there were no camcorders, typewriters or such back in the day so.... tradition is what, in some cases, is the only living record.

Everything that conflicts with what the Bible really says is tradition.
