Morphology

unbreakableness = unbreakable (transparent) = un + break + able + ness

Adding '-ness' to the adjective 'unbreakable' is a regular noun-formation pattern indicating the quality or state.

Etymology

Unbreakableness is made of simple parts: un- 'not', break 'to break', -able 'able to', and -ness 'the state of'. So, just like in unbreakable, unbreakableness means 'the state of not being able to be broken', which is why it describes strong resistance to breaking.
