discourteously

/dɪskˈɜɾiəsli/ adv

In a discourteous manner.

Word Origin Discourteous literally means 'not courtly' — from dis- 'not' and court, originally the enclosed yard of a ruler where refined manners were expected. So discourteously is acting without those courtly manners. The word court also gives us courtier, courtship, and courteous.
