Morphology
unchangeableness = unchangeable (transparent) = un + change + able + ness
Standard nominalization from the adjective 'unchangeable' using '-ness' to indicate the quality or state.
Etymology
Unchangeableness breaks into simple parts: un- meaning 'not', the root change meaning 'to make different', -able meaning 'can be', and -ness which makes a word name a 'state'. So, unchangeableness literally means 'the state of not being able to change', which is why we use it for something that stays the same.
