Morphology

ungraciousness = ungracious (transparent) = un + gracious + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'ungracious' (un- + gracious), yielding the state of not being gracious; the composition is straightforward.

Etymology

Ungraciousness starts with un- meaning 'not' and ends with gracious, which is from the same root as grace and means 'kind' or 'pleasant'. So, ungraciousness is 'not being kind or polite', the opposite of good manners.
