Morphology

unitariness = unitary (transparent) = unitary + ness

Standard nominalization of the adjective 'unitary' with '-ness' yields 'the state or quality of being unitary', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

The word unitariness comes from the root uni- or unit, which means 'one' and is the same idea in words like unit and union. So unitariness is the quality of being joined into a single whole.
