From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Indecorum \In`deco"rum\, n. [Pref. in- not + decorum: cf. L. indecorous unbecoming.] 1. Want of decorum; impropriety of behavior; that in behavior or manners which violates the established rules of civility, custom, or etiquette; indecorousness. 2. An indecorous or becoming action. --Young. Syn: Indecorum* is sometimes synonymous with indecency; but indecency, more frequently than indecorum, is applied to words or actions which refer to what nature and propriety require to be concealed or suppressed. Indecency is the stronger word; indecorum refers to any transgression of etiquette or civility, especially in public.
