Unprofitable, i.e., until amended (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inutile

'unprofitable' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'i e until amended' is the wordplay.
'amended' indicates anagramming the letters.
'e'+'until'='euntil'
'euntil' is an anagram of 'nutile'.
'i'+'nutile'='INUTILE'

(Another definition for inutile that I've seen is " Not worth using, useless".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
