Morphology

unboundedness = unbounded (transparent) = un + bound + ed + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'unbounded' with '-ness'; the negation 'un-' and adjective 'bounded' are transparent to learners.

Etymology

Unboundedness breaks into un- 'not' and bound 'limit', the same idea you see in boundary. So unboundedness means 'no limits' or 'no borders', which is why we use it for something infinite.
