unimportantly

/ənɪmˈpɔɹtəntli/ adv

In a way that is not important; insignificantly.

Word Origin The surprising core here is portare 'to carry' — important literally means 'carrying in,' something that carries weight or significance. Unimportantly is the opposite: not carrying weight. The same root portare gives us export (carry out), transport (carry across), and report (carry back).
