Morphology

unprofitableness = unprofitable (transparent) = un + profit + able + ness

The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'unprofitable', making the derivation straightforward.

Etymology

Unprofitableness breaks into un- 'not', profit 'gain' or money you earn, and -ness 'the state of something', just like in profitable. So unprofitableness means the state of not giving profit, benefit, or gain.
