Morphology
unconscientiousness = unconscientious (transparent) = un + conscientious + ness
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'unconscientious'; the meaning (the quality of being not conscientious) is directly predictable.
Etymology
Unconscientiousness comes from un- 'not', the root conscience 'inner sense of right and wrong', and the ending -ness 'quality'. So, unconscientiousness is the quality of not acting with care or a sense of right and wrong.
