Morphology
imperturbableness = imperturbable (transparent) = im + perturb + able + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to 'imperturbable'; the derivation im- + perturb + -able -> imperturbable -> imperturbableness is regular and meaning-preserving.
Etymology
Imperturbableness comes from parts: im- meaning 'not', perturb meaning 'to disturb', and -ness meaning 'state'. So it literally means 'the state of not being disturbed', which is why it describes someone who stays calm and unshaken in difficult situations.
