Which of them fit for behave peculiarly? For what situations would you use behave peculiarly. If a decent person starts to behave strangely would you say "He/She started to behave peculiarly."?

Thank you.

In my opinion, the adverb "peculiarly" in this case means "in a strange way". Hence, with the verb "behave", it means "to behave in a strange way".

You might want to take a ten-day break from dictionaries. Using other tools to help with your English studies for a while will help you appreciate what these other tools can do for you.

Yes, but as the meanings spread out, so do the ways of expressing this clearly. There are dozens of meanings of words like set in the dictionary, but most native speakers would use alternatives for many.
