The word you're looking for is nefandous. It's not one we would use much, since we're not exactly puritanical any more.
nefandous-Unfit to speak of; unmentionable; impious; execrable
(that word is related to nefarious- "wicked, abominable")
It's the kind of thing that psychologically monstrous hypocrite Roger Chillingworth would have used to describe Hester's infidelity.
infamous- having an exceedingly bad reputation
unutterable- defying expression or description
(By the way, Nicolas, melevolent is spelled malevolent.)

'nefarious' is good, so is 'infamous'. Both of them contain the idea of 'unspeakable'. 'nefarious' is 'something it is bad luck to speak about' (latin: 'nefas'). 'infamous' is 'something it is bad luck to remember in a conversation' (latin: 'infama').
