Morphology
uneventfulness = uneventful (transparent) = un + event + ful + ness
The suffix '-ness' is a standard way to form nouns indicating a state or quality from adjectives.
Etymology
Uneventfulness is made of un- 'not', event 'something that happens', and -ness which turns a word into a thing. So, uneventfulness is the 'state of not having many events', which is why it means a quiet or unexciting time.
