honorless
Lacking moral standing
Honorless describes someone or something lacking honor—without integrity, dignity, or moral standing.
The word implies not just the absence of honor but often its deliberate abandonment: an honorless coward who betrayed his allies, honorless conduct unworthy of the office.
It carries a tone of contempt, suggesting the subject has forfeited any claim to respect.
