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.
