Morphology
unprofessionally = unprofessional (transparent) = un + professional + ly
Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the clearly negated adjective 'unprofessional', a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
The word unprofessionally comes from three parts: un- meaning 'not', profession meaning 'a job or trained skill', and -ly meaning 'in a way'. So, to behave unprofessionally is to act 'not like a trained worker', without the skill, care, or standards your job expects.
