Morphology

crapload = crap + load (transparent) = crap + load

A colloquial compound where 'crap' modifies 'load' to indicate a large amount; the meaning is directly predictable from the parts though informal and coarse.

Etymology

Crapload combines crap ('rubbish' or 'nonsense') and load ('a large amount'), like in truckload. It began as informal slang that gives the image of a big, messy pile, so it means 'a very large amount' and is used in casual or rude speech.
