Discourteously means ‘in a way that is not polite and does not show respect.’ He spoke discourteously to the waiter. It is the how-word built from discourteous. Like that adjective, it belongs to careful writing and formal speech. Though actually, almost everyone says in ordinary talk. You may meet this word in a complaint, a novel, or a teacher’s comment, and almost never in a text message between friends.
失禮地;不禮貌地
組成From discourteous + -ly (turns the describing word into a how-word).
