Niggardly means to behave in a selfish or stingy manner. For example if you work for a company who doesn't give you a raise since they wanna keep every penny for themselves; then they are acting niggardly with your salary. If you are never asked to hang out with popular people then people are treating you niggardly. It could also be a word of prejudice or discrimination against another.
