Morphology

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

Built from the adjective 'desireless' (without desire) plus '-ness' forming a noun denoting the state; the formation is morphologically regular.

Etymology

Desirelessness is made from desire ('want' or 'longing') with -less ('without') and -ness (a state), and because desire often means sexual interest, desirelessness can mean 'the state of having no sexual desire' or interest.
