Not on bill: two rounds (5)

I believe the answer is:

taboo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not on' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bill two rounds' is the wordplay.
'two rounds' means two substitutions for 'round'.
'bill' becomes 'tab' (a tab is a bill at a bar).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'tab'+'o'+'o'='TABOO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taboo that I've seen before include "Prohibited as unclean or holy" , "Ritual prohibition" , "Ritually forbidden" , "Not to be touched or used, banned for religious reasons" , "(Irrational) prohibition" .)
