Nil ____ bonum: don't speak ill of the dead (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nisi

(Other definitions for nisi that I've seen before include "(Of decree) valid if certain conditions are met" , "Unless - in Latin" , "(Of decree) taking effect when conditions are met" , "'De mortuis nil .... bonum.'" , "Kind of divorce decree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
