Morphology

asston + of

The form 'asston' is a slang, non-standard blend (likely from profane intensifier + 'ton') and the provided constituent entries are not real dictionary words, so a B1 learner cannot reliably decompose it to infer 'an extremely large amount.' The expression is informal and non-compositional in standard English usage, making its meaning unpredictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Asston of likely comes from joining ass and ton. One popular story says ass is a rude word used to make something stronger and ton means a very heavy weight, so the image of a huge weight led asston of to mean 'an extremely large amount'.
