Social or cultural setting (6)

I believe the answer is:

milieu

(Other definitions for milieu that I've seen before include "Environmental condition, surrounding" , "(Social) setting" , "Environment - setting" , "Surroundings - location" , "Social environment or set of surroundings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
