Morphology
dishonorably = dishonorable (transparent) = dis + honor + able + ly
The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'dishonorable' meaning 'in a dishonorable way'.
Etymology
Dishonorably breaks into dis- + honor + -ably, where dis- means 'not', honor means 'respect' or 'good name', and -ably means 'in a way'. So to act dishonorably is to act 'not with honor' or in a 'shameful' way, which explains the modern meaning.
