Standard noun formation from the adjective 'unpalatable' indicating the state or quality of being not palatable.
Etymology
Unpalatableness comes from un- ('not') and palatable, which comes from palate, the roof of the mouth and a word used for 'taste' or what you find acceptable. So when we speak of someone's unpalatableness in thought or feeling, it is like an idea you cannot 'swallow' — it feels unacceptable to the mind.
