ignominiously

/ˌɪɡnəˈmɪniəsli/ adv

In an ignominious manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'in-' (not) and 'nomen' (name) — literally, without a good name. To do something ignominiously is to do it in a shameful, disgraceful way. The root 'nomen' gives us 'nominate' (to name someone), 'anonymous' (without a name), and 'synonym' (same name). The prefix 'ig-' is a form of 'in-' before n.
