dishonorably

/dɪsˈɑnɚɹəbli/ adv

In a dishonorable manner.

Word Origin From Latin honor 'honor, respect,' with the negative prefix dis- and the adjective suffix -able. So dishonorable means 'not able to be honored,' and dishonorably is the adverb. The same honor root gives us honest, honesty, and honorary. The PIE root *os- is less clear, but honor has always been about esteem.
