Morphology

inhumaneness = inhumane (transparent) = in + humane + ness

The noun is a regular and easily interpretable quality noun formed from the adjective 'inhumane' with '-ness'.

Etymology

Inhumaneness is made from in- meaning 'not' and humane (from human) meaning 'kind to people'. So inhumaneness is being 'not kind as a human', which is why it means cruelty or a lack of compassion.
