pennilessly

Lacking any money

In a state of having no money at all.

The adverb is rare, since the condition of being penniless typically describes a person rather than an action: He wandered pennilessly through Europe sounds more literary than natural.

Most speakers would restructure: He wandered through Europe without a penny.
