Something frowned on (4)

I believe the answer is:

nono

(Other definitions for nono that I've seen before include "Unacceptable thing" , "Impossibility" , "Something that would be totally unacceptable" , "Something that must not be done (informal)" , "Failure (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
