Morphology

unceremoniousness = unceremonious (transparent) = un + ceremony + ness

Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to 'unceremonious'; the pattern un- (not) + ceremonious + -ness is a regular, predictable derivation.

Etymology

Unceremoniousness has the prefix un- meaning 'not' and comes from ceremony, which means 'a formal event'. So, unceremoniousness is the state or quality of being 'not formal' or having no ceremony.
