well-mannered
Showing good etiquette
Well-mannered describes someone who behaves politely and follows social conventions—saying please and thank you, not interrupting, showing respect to others.
The term implies good upbringing: a well-mannered child, well-mannered guests who sent a thank-you note.
It suggests habitual courtesy rather than occasional politeness.
