Morphology
uncongeniality = uncongenial (transparent) = un + congenial + ity
The noun is a standard nominalization of the adjective 'uncongenial' using the productive suffix '-ity'.
Etymology
Uncongeniality breaks into un- 'not' and congenial, which comes from genial meaning 'friendly' or 'pleasant'. So uncongeniality is the quality of being 'not friendly, not pleasant, or not suitable', which is why it makes people or places feel uncomfortable.
