Morphology
ungratefulness = ungrateful (transparent) = un + grateful + ness
Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'ungrateful', so the meaning is directly derived from 'ungrateful'.
Etymology
Ungratefulness is made of un- ('not') and grateful ('thankful'), so it literally means 'not thankful'. Think of someone who never says 'thank you' — that lack of thanks is ungratefulness.
