COMPORT

comport:

- to be fitting; accord

- conduct or behave in a particular manner conformable to what is right or expected

Example: Considered friendly and funny in private, the queen has a formal, remote air in public that some people attribute to shyness and others say is a reflection of her belief that, as monarch, she should comport herself with dignity and restraint.
