Morphology
skillessness = skillless (transparent) = skill + less + ness
Formed by standard derivation: 'skill' -> 'skillless' (without skill) -> 'skilllessness' (state of being without skill).
Etymology
Skillessness starts with the common word skill and adds the parts -less and -ness; -less means 'without', as in helplessness, and -ness makes a noun meaning 'state'. So, skillessness describes the 'state of being without skill', or simply being not skilled.
