Propriety, decency, recall Horace's phrase reused by W Owen (7)

I believe the answer is:

decorum

(Other definitions for decorum that I've seen before include "Good manners" , "Correctness or dignity of behaviour" , "Proper form" , "Proper behaviour; etiquette" , "Propriety of behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
