Did you know?
Deportment, like a number of English words, has its roots in Latin portare, meaning "to carry." Other portare descendants include such familiar terms as import ("to bring from an external source"), transport ("to bring from one place to another"), and portfolio, which by its oldest meaning refers to a case for carrying papers. In the case of deportment, the thing we "carry" is ourselves. Deportment can refer simply to one's demeanor, or it can refer to behavior formed by social conditioning and often conforming to conventional rules of propriety. A 17-year-old Emily Dickinson applied the latter meaning when she wrote to her brother, Austin: "Are you not gratified that I am so rapidly gaining correct ideas of female propriety and sedate deportment?"
