This is a regular and easily interpretable noun formation from the adjective 'distasteful'.
Etymology
The word distastefulness comes from dis- meaning 'not' and the word taste meaning 'liking' or 'flavour'. So, distastefulness is the quality of being 'not liked' or unpleasant, which is why it describes something that causes dislike or offence.
