* Norm (sociology) and
* Tradition It is consistent in spelling across most of the many variations in pidgin and pisin across the region. Kastom is mostly not written, only passed down through teachings and stories. It is concentrated through:
* Kastom House - sites where objects and rituals are stored.
* Kastom stories - myths, legends and communal histories.
* ritual objects - objects of special power, significance and symbolism. The use of the word is slightly different in the different countries and cultures of Melanesia. There are designated Kastom villages in Vanuatu which are open to tourists, dedicated to preserving Kastom. (en)

La parola deriva dalla pronuncia in inglese australiano della parola inglese custom, ma include vari significati, tra cui quelli di:
* consuetudine (in inglese custom)
* norma sociale
* convenzione
* tradizione La sua pronuncia è abbastanza uniforme, ma il significato può variare leggermente attraverso le varie culture e i vari Paesi della Melanesia. Il Kastom vive soprattutto in forma non scritta, tramandandosi oralmente attraverso storie ed insegnamenti. Si preserva attraverso:
* oggetti rituali, cioè manufatti di grande potere, significato o valore simbolico;
* case Kastom, ovvero siti dove gli oggetti rituali vengono conservati;
* storie Kastom, che sono i miti e le leggende comuni. (it)
