Morphology
unfairness = unfair (transparent) = un + fair + ness
Standard noun formation from the adjective 'unfair' using '-ness' yields 'the state or quality of being unfair', which is directly derived.
Etymology
Unfairness is built from the small prefix un- meaning 'not' and the common word fair meaning 'just' or 'equal'. So unfairness is simply the state of being 'not fair', which explains why it means a lack of fairness or justice.
