Surface Forms

douchebag singular
douchebags plural

Morphology

douchebag = douche + bag (opaque) = douche + bag

Although the form is a real compound of 'douche' and 'bag', the slang meaning for an unpleasant person is not predictable from those parts by normal word-formation rules.

Etymology

Douchebag as a rude insult grew from the product name: douche 'shower' plus bag, and people began using the object name to call someone 'dirty' or unpleasant, which is why the word is considered very offensive.
