Morphology
disagreeableness = disagreeable (semi-transparent) = dis + agree + able + ness
The noun is a regular quality noun formed straightforwardly from the adjective 'disagreeable' with '-ness'.
Etymology
Disagreeableness comes from the prefix dis- meaning 'not' and agreeable meaning 'pleasant' or 'easy to get along with'. So disagreeableness is the quality of being 'not pleasant' or unfriendly, which explains why it makes people avoid or find someone difficult to work with.
