Morphology

illogicalness = illogical (transparent) = il + logic + al + ness

Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'illogical' in a regular, predictable way.

Etymology

Illogicalness starts with il-, which means 'not', and ends with logic (from Greek logos) which means 'reason'. So, illogicalness is the 'state of not having reason', which is why it means lacking clear or valid thinking.
