Morphology
unfavorableness = unfavorable (transparent) = un + favor + able + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the clearly negative adjective 'unfavorable', producing a straightforward abstract noun.
Etymology
Unfavorableness is made of simple parts: un- meaning 'not', favor meaning 'support' or 'a good opinion', and -ness meaning 'the state of something'. So unfavorableness is the 'state of not being favorable' — a situation or condition that is not helpful and makes success less likely.
