Morphology
ineffectualness = ineffectual (semi-transparent) = in + effect + ual + ness
The noun is a standard and fully compositional -ness formation from the adjective 'ineffectual'.
Etymology
Ineffectualness is made from in- 'not', effectual from effect meaning 'result' or 'to make', and the ending -ness for a 'state'. So, ineffectualness means the 'state of not producing a result', or when something fails to work as needed.
