Morphology

indispensableness = indispensable (semi-transparent) = in + dispens + able + ness

This is a standard and fully transparent noun formation from the adjective 'indispensable' using '-ness'.

Etymology

Indispensableness comes from indispensable, which breaks into in- 'not' and dispense 'to give out' (think of the everyday word dispense). If something cannot be 'given away' or removed, it must stay, so indispensableness means the quality of being absolutely necessary.
