Etymology
Unwieldiness comes from the first part un- meaning 'not' and wield 'to hold or use', as in 'wield power' or a tool. So unwieldiness means 'not easy to hold or use', and that helps you remember it also describes things or systems that are hard to control or manage because they are awkward or too big.
