Crossword Genius

Considerate about profanity (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desecration

'profanity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'considerate about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'considerate' anagrammed gives 'DESECRATION'.

(Other definitions for desecration that I've seen before include "Violating" , "doing harm to something sacred" , "Violent disrepect" , "Violently disrespectful treatment" , "Damage of anything sacred" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
