invisibleness = invisible (transparent) = in + visible + ness

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

Etymology

The word invisibleness comes from the parts in- 'not' and visible 'able to be seen', the same part found in vision 'to see'. A helpful image is a magician's cloak that makes someone disappear, because invisibleness is the quality of being 'not able to be seen'.
