Morphology

uncomfortableness = uncomfortable (transparent) = un + comfort + able + ness

Forming a noun with '-ness' from the adjective 'uncomfortable' is a regular, easily understood process.

Etymology

Uncomfortableness is built from un- 'not', comfort 'ease', -able 'able to', and -ness 'state'. So it means the 'state of not feeling ease', which is why it describes being uneasy or tense.
