Morphology
unskillfulness = unskillful (transparent) = un + skill + ful + ness
Formed by productive negation 'un-' + adjective 'skillful', with '-ness' creating the state, so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Unskillfulness breaks into clear parts: un- meaning 'not', skill meaning 'ability', and -ness meaning 'state'. So unskillfulness is the 'state of not being good at something', the quality of lacking skill.
