unromantically
In practical terms
Unromantically describes doing something without romance, sentiment, or idealized feeling.
It often signals a practical or unsentimental approach to matters typically associated with love or emotion: They unromantically split the dinner bill down the middle.
The word can also describe how something lacks poetic or imaginative quality: The sunset was unromantically obscured by smog.
