Morphology
inapplicability = inapplicable (semi-transparent) = in + applic + able + ity
This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'inapplicable' meaning the state or quality of being inapplicable.
Etymology
Inapplicability breaks into in- meaning 'not', apply meaning 'to put to use' as in the verb 'apply', and -ity meaning 'a state'. So, inapplicability is the 'state of not being able to be used' or simply 'not relevant'.
