Surface Forms

douchebaggery singular

Morphology

douchebaggery = douchebag (transparent) = douchebag + ery

The meaning is directly derived from the slang noun 'douchebag' with a productive nominalizing suffix '-ery' indicating behavior or qualities.

Etymology

Douchebaggery comes from the insult douchebag, which mixes douche (a device for 'washing') and bag (a 'container'), plus the ending -ery that makes a word about a kind of behavior. So douchebaggery means the rude, unpleasant actions or behavior of someone who acts like a 'douchebag'.
