The word "comportance" is a rare and archaic term that refers to behavior or conduct. It's pronounced as /kəmˈpɔːt(ə)ns/ and spelled with a "c" instead of "g" as it derives from the French word "comportement". The "port" in "comportance" refers to the Latin word "portare" meaning "to carry" which is also present in words like "transport" and "report." While not commonly used today, "comportance" can still be encountered in literature and historical texts.
