Morphology
irreplaceableness = irreplaceable (semi-transparent) = ir + re + place + able + ness
Adding '-ness' to the adjective 'irreplaceable' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the state or quality of being irreplaceable.
Etymology
Irreplaceableness breaks into parts: ir- meaning 'not', replace (from place, 'to put in a place') with -able meaning 'can be', and -ness meaning 'the state of'. So, irreplaceableness is the 'state' of something you cannot replace — the idea that it is one of a kind or very important.
