Morphology

batshit = bat + shit (opaque) = bat + shit

Although the word is visibly a compound of 'bat' and 'shit', its intensifying adverbial meaning is idiomatic and not predictable from the literal meanings of the parts.

Etymology

Batshit as an adverb mixes bat for 'crazy' and shit, a rude word that makes the idea much stronger. So, when you say something is batshit amazing or batshit risky, you mean it is 'very' or 'extremely' that way.
