Morphology

stableness = stable (transparent) = stable + ness

Regular nominalization of the adjective 'stable' with '-ness' yields the meaning 'the quality of being stable', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word stableness comes from stable, which goes back to the simple idea of 'to stand' and so makes you think of something that stands firm and does not move. So, stableness means being steady, firm, and resistant to change.
