Morphology

crapola = crap (transparent) = crap + ola

Built from 'crap' + the informal suffix '-ola' to denote an item of poor quality or nonsense, a meaning directly derived from the base.

Etymology

Crapola is made from crap ('nonsense' or 'low quality') with the playful ending -ola, so calling something crapola means it is rubbish or of very poor quality.
