Morphology

indefatigableness = indefatigable (opaque) = in + de + fatig + able + ness

This is a regular abstract noun formed from the adjective 'indefatigable' with '-ness'.

Etymology

Indefatigableness is made from the part in- meaning 'not' and a root related to fatigue that once meant 'to tire'. So it means 'not getting tired', which is why we use it for someone who keeps going with steady energy and determination.
