Morphology
indescribableness = indescribable (transparent) = in + describe + able + ness
Adding '-ness' to the adjective 'indescribable' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the quality or state of being indescribable.
Etymology
Indescribableness comes from parts that mean 'not' (in-) and 'to write' (the scrib part, as in scribble or scribe). So indescribableness is the state of being 'not able to be put into words', which is why we use it for things that are too strong or strange to describe.
