Morphology

inconceivableness = inconceivable (transparent) = in + conceive + able + ness

This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'inconceivable' meaning the state or quality of being inconceivable.

Etymology

Inconceivableness breaks into in- 'not', conceive 'to form an idea', -able 'able to', and -ness 'state'. So, it literally means 'the state of not being able to form an idea', which is why it describes something impossible to imagine.
