The noun is a regular quality/state formation from the adjective 'indiscernible'.
Etymology
Indiscernibility comes from the parts in- meaning 'not' and discern meaning 'to tell apart', so it literally means 'not able to be told apart'. That's why we use it for things you cannot notice or distinguish, like an object hidden by perfect camouflage.
