'shameful' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'one given clothing forbidding one stocking' is the wordplay.
'one given clothing' becomes 'ign' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'forbidding' becomes 'ominous' (synonyms).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'stocking' is an insertion indicator ('stock' can mean 'fill').
'ominous' enclosing 'i' is 'ominious'.
'ign'+'ominious'='IGNOMINIOUS'
