记忆方法
将“indecent”分解为“in-”和“decent”。记住“decent”意味着得体、体面的，而“in-”是一个否定前缀。想象一下，原本得体的事情因为某种原因变得不体面了，这样就形成了“indecent”这个词，意为不体面或不道德的。

- indecent (adj.)
- 1560s, "unbecoming, in bad taste," from French indécent (14c.), from Latin indecentem (nominative indecens), from in- "not, opposite of, without" (see in- (1)) + decens (see decent). Sense of "offending against propriety" is from 1610s. Indecent assault (1861) originally covered sexual assaults other than rape or intended rape, but by 1934 it was being used as a euphemism for "rape." Related: Indecently
