Morphology

unpresentability = unpresentable (transparent) = un + present + able + ity

Derived by nominalizing the adjective 'unpresentable' with '-ity'; the technical sense 'impossible to represent' is a straightforward extension.

Etymology

Unpresentability breaks into un- 'not', present 'to show or represent', and ability 'can'. So it means 'not able to be shown', and it is used when an idea, object, or result cannot be represented or expressed within a particular system or format.
