    Context about unremunerative sales:

    The term ‘unremunerative sales‘ refers to sales that do not yield profit or financial return. The etymology of the phrase can be traced to the root words ‘remunerate‘ and the prefix ‘un-.‘

    ‘Remunerate‘ originates from the Latin word ‘remunerare,‘ which means ‘to pay back‘ or ‘to recompense,‘ formed from the prefix ‘re-‘ (meaning ‘back‘ or ‘again‘) and ‘munus,‘ which means ‘gift‘ or ‘service.‘ The prefix ‘un-‘ in English is used to indicate negation or the opposite of something, therefore, ‘unremunerative‘ signifies something that does not provide compensation or profit.

    In this context, ‘unremunerative sales‘ refers to transactions that are not financially rewarding, highlighting the adverse economic implications of certain sales activities.
