Morphology
insatiability = insatiable (semi-transparent) = in + sati + able + ity
This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'insatiable', meaning the state or quality of being insatiable.
Etymology
Insatiability starts with in- meaning 'not' and the part satiate meaning 'to fill' or 'to satisfy', the same root you see in satisfy and satisfaction. So insatiability is the quality of 'never being satisfied', always wanting more.
