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.

In*deed" (?), adv. [Prep. in + deed.] In reality; in truth; in fact;

verily; truly; -- used in a variety of senses. Esp.: (a) Denoting

emphasis; as, indeed it is so. (b) Denoting concession or admission;

as, indeed, you are right. (c) Denoting surprise; as, indeed, is it

you? Its meaning is not intrinsic or fixed, but depends largely on the

form of expression which it accompanies.
