Forces someone to leave a country, usually because they entered illegally or committed a crime. Can also mean 'behaves or conducts oneself in a particular way.'
From Latin 'deportare' (de- 'away' + portare 'to carry'). Originally meant to carry away or transport, evolved to mean forcibly remove from a country, and separately to mean 'conduct oneself.'
The word 'deport' has two completely different meanings that come from the same root: one is about forcibly removing people across borders, the other is about how you carry yourself (like 'deporting oneself with dignity'). This shows how a single word can split into opposite-feeling definitions over time.
