unsavorily

/ʌnsˈeɪvɔɹəli/ adv

In an unsavory manner.

Word Origin Unsavorily comes from unsavory, which is built on savor from Latin 'sapor' — taste, flavor. The un- negates it, so it's 'in a tasteless, unpleasant manner.' The root sapor also gives us sapid (tasty), insipid (tasteless), and even sapient (wise, originally 'having taste').
