Morphology

unbiasedness = unbiased (transparent) = un + bias + ed + ness

Forming a noun from the adjective 'unbiased' by adding the productive suffix '-ness' yields the expected meaning 'state/quality of being unbiased'.

Etymology

The word unbiasedness starts with the prefix un- ('not') and comes from bias, which originally meant a 'lean' or tilt to one side. So unbiasedness means 'not leaning'—being fair and impartial, and in statistics it means being right on average without a regular mistake.
