Morphology
unsatisfactoriness = unsatisfactory (transparent) = un + satisfactory + ness
The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'unsatisfactory', which itself is clearly 'un-' + 'satisfactory'.
Etymology
Unsatisfactoriness breaks into three parts: un- 'not', satisfy 'to please or meet needs', and -ness 'state'. So it means the 'state of not being good enough' or 'not meeting needs', which is why we use it for something inadequate or unsuitable.
