Comportance

/kəmˈpɔrtəns/ noun

Definition

Behavior, conduct, or bearing; the way someone acts or conducts themselves.

Etymology

From French comportance, derived from comporter, 'to behave' (from Latin comportare). This formal word developed to describe demeanor and conduct in aristocratic contexts.

Kelly Says

In Shakespeare's time, comportance was a key word for describing nobility—how you behaved, what your bearing was like, actually determined your social status in a way that's hard to imagine today!
