Morphology

unappetizingness = unappetizing (transparent) = un + appetize + ing + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'unappetizing'; the meaning is the state of being not appetizing.

Etymology

Unappetizingness is made of the parts un- ('not'), appetizing (from appetite, 'desire to eat') and -ness ('state'), and one easy way to remember it is to see it as a label for a feeling about food. So, unappetizingness means the state of 'not making you want to eat', which explains why it describes food that looks or tastes unpleasant.
