vt. to expel (a foreigner) from a country, typically for legal or political reasons
vt. to carry or send away forcibly; banish
vt. (archaic) to conduct oneself in a specified manner
The word deport originates from Latin deportare, combining de- ("away") and portare ("to carry"). It initially meant "to carry away" or "behave" (as in conducting oneself). Over time, its legal sense of "forcibly removing someone from a country" emerged in the 16th century, reflecting the literal idea of "carrying away" an individual. The root port persists in many English words related to movement or transfer (e.g., export, portable).
