Bringing dishonor or shame; contrary to honor; dishonorable. (Variant or archaic form)
From 'dishonor' plus the suffix '-ary' (from Latin '-arius', forming adjectives). This is a rare or archaic variant of 'dishonorable,' showing how English allowed multiple adjectival formations from the same root.
Medieval English had a surplus of similar words—'dishonorable,' 'dishonorious,' and 'dishonorary' competed, but only 'dishonorable' survived in modern English, showing how word competition works in language evolution.
