Morphology

incommodiousness = incommodious (transparent) = in + commodious + ness

Adding '-ness' to the adjective 'incommodious' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the state or quality of being incommodious.

Etymology

The word incommodiousness puts the prefix in- ('not') in front of commodious ('convenient' or 'roomy'), the same part you see in accommodation. So incommodiousness is the 'state of being not convenient or not roomy', which is why it means 'uncomfortable' or 'inconvenient'.
