Webster's 1828 Dictionary

BEHAVE

v.t. 1. To restrain; to govern; to subdue.
He did behave his anger e'er 'twas spent.
This sense is obsolete. Yet it often seems to be implied; for to behave one's self, is really, to govern one's self; to have in command.
2. To carry; to conduct; used with the reciprocal pronoun; as, he behaves himself manfully. But the tendency of modern usage is to omit the pronoun; as, he behaves well.

 

BEHAVE

v.i.To act; to conduct; generally applied to manners, or to conduct in any particular business; and in a good or bad sense. He behaves well or will.

 

BEHAVED

pp. Conducted.
