ungratefully
In unthankful manner
Ungratefully describes doing something without showing proper thanks or appreciation.
Someone who accepts help ungratefully fails to acknowledge the favor: She ungratefully dismissed their efforts to help.
The word often implies not just absence of gratitude but active rudeness or entitlement.
