Morphology

unyieldingness = unyielding (transparent) = un + yield + ing + ness

The noun is a regular nominalization of the adjective 'unyielding' by adding '-ness'.

Etymology

Unyieldingness breaks into parts: un- meaning 'not', yield meaning 'to give way' or 'bend', and -ness which makes a word about a quality. So unyieldingness is the quality of 'not giving way' — being firm and unwilling to bend.
