Morphology
bajillion = zillion (transparent) = baj + illion
Playful prefix 'baj-' attached to the pseudo-suffix '-illion' yields an obvious hyperbolic indefinite large number.
Etymology
Bajillion is a playful, made-up word that uses the number ending -illion, the same ending as billion, to sound extremely large. So when you use bajillion as an adjective you mean 'very many' or 'countless' in an informal, exaggerated way.
