Opposing or contrary to civil principles, courtesy, or orderly social behavior.
From 'contra-' (against) + 'civil' (relating to citizens and orderly conduct). This is a rare, archaic term combining Latin roots to describe behavior that violates social civility.
This delightfully archaic word would have been perfect for Victorian etiquette experts to scold someone who burped at dinner or failed to curtsy properly!
