立たち居い振ふる舞まい
A longer, more formal synonym for sense 1, emphasizing both standing and sitting postures. 立ち振る舞い is a shortened version.

Etymology

Compound of 立ち (tachi, 'standing') + 振る舞い (furumai, 'behavior, conduct'). The second sense 'farewell dinner' likely derives from the idea of a formal gathering with prescribed etiquette.
