dishonourably
In disgraceful manner
Dishonourably means in a way that brings shame or disgrace, violating standards of integrity or ethical conduct.
The term appears most often in military contexts: a dishonourable discharge marks a soldier expelled for serious misconduct.
Someone who acts dishonourably betrays trust or behaves without honour.
The spelling is British; American English uses *dishonorably*.
