Morphology

invalidness = invalid (transparent) = valid + in + ness

Standard noun formation from the adjective 'invalid' indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Invalidness breaks into in- meaning 'not', valid meaning 'strong' or 'acceptable', and -ness meaning 'the quality or state of'. So invalidness is the 'state of not being valid', which helps you remember it as something that does not hold up, like a weak argument or a contract without a proper signature.
