Morphology
uninterestingness = uninteresting (transparent) = un + interest + ing + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the clear adjective 'uninteresting', yielding the state or quality; the derivation is regular and predictable.
Etymology
Uninterestingness starts with un- meaning 'not' and the main part interest meaning 'to hold attention', while -ing and -ness are added to make it a noun. So, uninterestingness is the 'state of not holding attention' or a 'lack of appeal'.
