Noun. 1. decorum-propriety in manners and conduct. decorousness. correctitude, properness, propriety-correct or appropriate behavior. becomingness-the quality of being becoming. indecorousness, indecorum-a lack of decorum.
Decorous for a time had another meaning as wellâfitting or appropriateâbut that now-obsolete sense seems to have existed for only a few decades in the 17th century. Decorous derives from the Latin word decorus, an adjective created from the noun decor, meaning beauty or grace. Decor is akin to the Latin verb decÄre (to be fitting), which is the source of our adjective decent. It is only fitting, then, that decent can be a synonym of decorous.
