impurely

/ˌɪmˈpjʊɹli/ adv

In an impure manner.

Word Origin From Latin im- 'not' and purus 'pure, clean' — impure means not clean, mixed. Impurely is the adverb. The root purus gives us purity, purify, purge (to make clean), and even puritan (one who insists on purity). The PIE root *peuH- 'to cleanse' is behind it.
