Ignoble

“Ignoble” (ig-NOH-bul) – from the Latin for “not noble” – means common, base, or humble in quality, character, or purpose.

Example (as used by Don Wyclif in The New York Times): “Heroes are only human. Their noble deeds inspire, as they should. Their ignoble deeds make clear that even the greatest human is no god.”
