Morphology
indistinguishability = indistinguishable (transparent) = in + distinguish + able + ity
The noun is a standard formation meaning the state or quality of being 'indistinguishable'.
Etymology
Indistinguishability breaks into in- meaning 'not', distinguish meaning 'to tell apart', and -ability meaning 'can be done'. This gives indistinguishability the sense of 'not being able to tell things apart', so it means exact sameness.
