ungraciously
In churlish manner
Ungraciously means in a manner lacking grace, courtesy, or good will.
Someone who accepts a compliment ungraciously does so with visible reluctance or resentment: She ungraciously agreed to help, making clear she resented being asked.
The word suggests not just rudeness but a failure to rise to an occasion that called for graciousness.
