Forbidden in polite society (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taboo

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">forbidden in polite society</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for taboo that I've seen before include "Prohibited by social custom" , "Not allowed, forbidden, proscribed" , "Prohibited by religion or custom" , "Beyond the pale" , "Strictly forbidden" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Universal.
