uncomely
Lacking in beauty
Uncomely means unattractive or lacking physical appeal.
The word is old-fashioned and literary, rarely encountered in modern speech: an uncomely face, uncomely features.
It can extend beyond appearance to describe behavior that is unseemly or improper: Such uncomely conduct ill befits a gentleman.
