   [1913 Webster]

      [1913 Webster]

   2. An indecorous or unbecoming 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.
        [1913 Webster]
