the.com/indecency
The crime of offending people who were looking anyway.
means Behavior or material that violates accepted standards of modesty or propriety, especially in sexual or bodily matters.
from From Latin 'indecentia,' built from 'in-' (not) plus 'decens' (fitting, proper) — the present participle of 'decere,' meaning to be suitable or becoming. The same root 'decere' gives us 'decent' and 'decorum.' So at its core, indecency has always just meant 'unbecoming' — the word quietly assumes someone, somewhere, is being watched and judged for it.
