unworthily
In undeserving fashion
In a manner that falls short of what is deserved or appropriate.
Someone who acts unworthily fails to meet expected standards of merit, dignity, or honor: He felt he had behaved unworthily toward his mentor.
The word often carries moral weight, suggesting conduct beneath one's station or obligations.
