unprofitably

/ʌnpɹˈɑfɪɾəbli/ adv

In an unprofitable manner.

Word Origin Profit comes from Latin pro- 'forward' and facere 'to make' — literally 'making forward progress.' Unprofitably means 'in a way that makes no progress, no gain.' The same facere root appears in manufacture (make by hand), artifact (made by art), and facilitate (make easy). The breakdown un+profit+able+ly shows 'not able to make progress.'
