Etymology

The word 'comported' originates from the Middle French 'comporter', which means to 'carry together' or 'to bear'. This term can be traced back to Latin 'comportare', from 'com-' meaning 'together' and 'portare' meaning 'to carry'. The word evolved through usage in English, developing its meaning to refer more specifically to the manner in which one conducts or presents oneself. It has been used in English since the late 15th century, with its meaning continuing to emphasize the comporting of oneself in social and formal contexts. Over time, 'comport' has come to encapsulate both the physical and psychological aspects of behavior.
