ungenerously
In miserly fashion
Ungenerously means in a manner lacking generosity—stingy with money, praise, or spirit.
Someone who judges others ungenerously assumes the worst about their motives: She interpreted his silence ungenerously, as indifference rather than shyness.
The word can describe tight-fisted giving or mean-spirited assessment.
