Morphology

unhurriedness = unhurried (transparent) = un + hurry + ed + ness

The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ness' to the clearly recognizable adjective 'unhurried' (itself 'un-' + 'hurried').

Etymology

Unhurriedness starts with un- meaning 'not' and uses hurry which means 'to move fast' or 'haste', so it literally says 'not hurrying'. Picture someone taking their time and staying calm; that image shows why unhurriedness means a calm, relaxed pace or manner.
