Word origin
The word 'indecorously' is derived from the Latin word 'indecorus', which means 'unseemly' or 'indecent'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. The prefix 'in-' signifies 'not' or 'opposite', while 'decorously' is related to 'decorum', which refers to proper behavior or etiquette. Therefore, 'indecorously' describes actions or behavior that are not in accordance with accepted standards of decorum or good taste.
