deportment
How one carries
Deportment is the way a person carries themselves—their posture, bearing, and manner of moving.
The word often appears in contexts of etiquette or formal training: The finishing school emphasized deportment and social graces.
Good deportment suggests poise and dignity; poor deportment suggests slouching or gracelessness.
