Morphology

buggered = bugger (opaque) = bugger + ed

Although morphologically formed from the verb 'bugger' plus '-ed', the adjectival meaning 'extremely tired/worn out' is an idiomatic, colloquial shift not predictable from the base for an average learner.

Etymology

Buggered comes from the older word bugger, which was once a strong insult. Over time that insult came to mean 'messed up' or 'done for', so buggered is often used to say someone or something is completely 'worn out' or broken.
