Plural of demeanor; the outward behavior, bearing, or manner of a person.
From demeanor (Old French demenure, way of conducting oneself) + plural -s. Describes observable aspects of personality through physical bearing and behavior.
Lawyers study demeanors carefully—a witness's demeanor in court can matter as much as their words because juries read the whole person, which is why testimony includes observations like 'she maintained a steady demeanor.'
