Morphology

desirelessness = desireless (transparent) = desire + less + ness

Formed by the clear adjective 'desireless' + the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to indicate the state or quality of lacking desire.

Etymology

Desirelessness is made from desire ('want' or 'longing') plus -less ('without') and -ness (a state), so it literally means 'the state of having no desire', which explains why it describes a lack of motivation or interest.
