In a way that brings shame or disgrace; acting without integrity or moral principles.
From Old French 'dishonorer' combining 'dis-' (opposite) and 'honor' (respect, integrity). The adverb form adds '-ably' to create an adverb describing dishonorable actions.
In military law, 'dishonorable discharge' is the most severe punishment and permanently marks a service member's record. The word carries serious weight because honor and reputation were traditionally considered more valuable than wealth—getting called dishonorable meant social exile.
