Surface Forms

Morphology

objectionableness = objectionable (transparent) = objection + able + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'objectionable', yielding 'the quality of being objectionable'.

Etymology

The word objectionableness comes from the parts ob- 'against' and ject 'to throw', the same root you see in reject 'to throw back'. Think of people throwing objections at something; that image helps you remember it means the quality of being offensive or causing dislike.
