It's not an adjective. Please re-do your sentence.
The manager seemed to be decorous in the meeting, but really he was thinking of the weekend.
The adjective "decorous" is usually used to modify behavior, not people: "...in a decorous manner."
The manager displayed decorous behavior in the meeting, but...
Or...
The manager displayed formal decorum during the meeting, but ...
or,
The manager lacked decorum.
Best one of all, DrBob!
Great website is wikiwordy
They provide example sentences for a bunch of words, I use the site for vocab hw and essays, and find it pretty helpful. I did a quick search for "decorum" and there are several sentences to look at. Hope it helps.
