Morphology
changelessness = changeless (transparent) = change + less + ness
The adjective 'changeless' is transparently formed from 'change' + '-less', and adding '-ness' creates a noun naming that state.
Etymology
The word changelessness is made of three parts: change, -less, and -ness; change means 'to become different', -less means 'without', and -ness makes a word mean a 'state'. So changelessness is the 'state' of being without change, like a calm lake that never moves.
