Morphology
unapproachability = unapproachable (transparent) = un + approach + able + ity
Standard nominalization of the adjective 'unapproachable' by '-ity' indicating the quality or state.
Etymology
Unapproachability comes from the parts un- ('not'), approach ('come near' or 'come to speak to'), and -ability ('the quality of being'), much like the word approachable with 'un-' added. So unapproachability means the state of being hard to come near or talk to, often because someone seems unfriendly or distant.
