uncharitable
Lacking in kindness
Uncharitable means lacking generosity or kindness in judgment.
An uncharitable interpretation assumes the worst about someone's motives.
An uncharitable remark is harsh or mean-spirited.
The word implies a failure of goodwill—not giving others the benefit of the doubt: It would be uncharitable to say she married him for money, but the timing was suspicious.
