desinteresadamente

selflessly

adverb dehs-een-teh-reh-sah-dah-MEN-teh Rare

Also means

disinterestedly

Usage Note

Desinteresadamente derives from desinteresado (selfless, disinterested). In Spanish, desinteresado means 'without self-interest' (selfless), NOT 'bored' or 'uninterested' — those are aburrido and sin interés. This is a key false friend with English 'disinterested', which can mean impartial.

Examples

"Trabajó desinteresadamente durante años."

Natural Translation

She worked selflessly for years.
