unimaginativeness

/ənɪˈmæˌdʒɪnətɪvnəs/ noun

Lack of imagination.

Word Origin Built from Latin imago 'image, likeness' and the negative prefix un- — unimaginative is literally 'not image-making.' The breakdown un+imagin+ative+ness reveals un- (not), imagin (image), -ative (tending to), and -ness (state). The root imago also gives us imagination, imagery, and imitation. So unimaginativeness is the state of lacking the ability to form mental pictures, a kind of inner blankness.
