The act of deporting someone, or the way someone conducts or carries themselves; deportment.
Derived from 'deport' + the suffix '-ure' (indicating an action or state). Related to Old French 'deporture,' combining the Latin root with a Romance suffix meaning 'state or manner of.'
This word is an old-fashioned way to describe both the physical act of removing someone from a country AND how they hold themselves—it's like one word trying to do two jobs that English eventually split into 'deportation' and 'deportment.'
