Inglorious means it brings shame and dishonour. An inglorious defeat is not just a loss. It is a loss people do not want to talk about — small, ugly, or messy. The word stands against glorious. Glorious is full of honour and light; inglorious takes that honour away. Writers and news people use it more than friends chatting. Though actually, it is a heavy word. Calling a small mistake inglorious is too much. Save it for public shame, a fight that ends badly, or work that ends in disgrace. It does not mean not famous. A quiet life is not inglorious. Inglorious is shameful.
不光彩的、不名譽的（不是「不出名」，是「丟臉」。）
組成From Latin inglōriōsus. On the surface: in- (not) + glorious.
