ingloriously

In disgraceful fashion

Ingloriously means in a manner that brings shame, disgrace, or failure rather than honor or distinction.

It describes endings, defeats, or departures that lack dignity or are marked by humiliation: The champion's career ended ingloriously with a string of losses.

The word implies not just absence of glory but its opposite—something that should have been triumphant turning out embarrassingly or shamefully.
