Morphology
unsuitability = unsuitable (transparent) = un + suit + able + ity
A standard nominalization (-ity) of the adjective 'unsuitable'; the relation from 'unsuitable' to 'unsuitability' is regular and easily understood.
Etymology
The word unsuitability breaks into un- ('not'), suitable ('fit' or 'right for something') and -ity ('state or quality'), so it literally means the 'state of not being fit'. That's why we use it to say something is not appropriate for a particular purpose.
