Etymology
The word 'comport' originates from the Latin term 'comportare', which means 'to carry together' or 'to bring together'. This was formed from the prefix 'com-', meaning 'with' or 'together', and the verb 'portare', meaning 'to carry'. The modern meaning evolved in the 17th century when it began to be used in legal contexts to discuss the agreement between an individual's actions and the laws or norms governing them. Over time, 'comporting' came to be associated more broadly with behavior in various contexts, particularly pertaining to how one presents themselves in social situations.
