Morphology
unconnectedness = unconnected (transparent) = un + connect + ed + ness
Formed by adding the nominalizer '-ness' to 'unconnected', which straightforwardly denotes the state of not being connected.
Etymology
The word unconnectedness comes from three parts: un- 'not', connect 'join', and -ness 'state', like in the familiar word connection. So it means the 'state of not being joined', which is why we use it for a lack of links between things.
