Morphology
unworkability = unworkable (transparent) = un + work + able + ity
Formed by adding '-ity' to 'unworkable'; the negation and adjectival base are straightforward and preserve the expected meaning.
Etymology
The word unworkability comes from the parts un- ('not'), work ('to function or succeed'), and -ability ('can be done' or 'ability'). So it means 'not able to be made to work', which explains why a plan or policy cannot succeed.
