Morphology
unchangeability = unchangeable (transparent) = un + change + able + ity
Adding the nominalizing suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'unchangeable' yields a standard noun meaning 'the quality/state of being not changeable'.
Etymology
The word unchangeability breaks into un- 'not', change 'to make different', and -ability 'quality or state'. So unchangeability is the 'quality of not changing', like a rule or a rock that stays the same, which is why it means the tendency to remain unchanged.
