This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
Pronounced: (dih-PORT-ment)
Noun:
(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people
From Vocabulary.com: “People say you shouldn’t judge by appearances, but how you present yourself — your deportment — matters. How you dress, speak, look and carry yourself is all part of deportment or demeanor.”
Example:
“No sales record, however solid, can save someone’s career from an increasingly unsavory deportment.”
