Syntaxiom

disgracefully

/dɪsˈɡɹeɪsfəɫli/ adv

In a disgraceful manner.

Word Origin Grace comes from Latin gratia 'favor, charm' — so disgrace is the loss of favor, the opposite of charm. Disgracefully means in a manner that lacks grace, that is shameful. The root gratia also gives us gracious, grateful, and even agree (from ad+gratus 'to be pleasing'). So disgrace is literally being unpleasing. The breakdown dis+grace+ful+ly shows: not + favor + full of + in a manner — full of disfavor.
