unthoughtfulness = unthoughtful (transparent) = un + thought + ful + ness
Formed by adding the standard noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'unthoughtful', so the meaning is directly 'the state of being unthoughtful'.
Etymology
Unthoughtfulness comes from simple parts you know: un- ('not'), thought ('thinking'), and -ness ('state' or 'quality'), and you can see the opposite idea in thoughtful. So, unthoughtfulness is the 'state of not thinking' or not considering things carefully before you act or speak.
