Morphology

interrelatedness = interrelated (transparent) = inter + relate + ed + ness

Formed from the adjective 'interrelated' + '-ness', yielding a noun meaning 'the state of being interrelated', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Interrelatedness comes from the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and related meaning 'connected', as in international ('between nations') and relation. So interrelatedness describes the state of things being closely connected to each other.
