Morphology

faggoty = faggot (opaque) = faggot + y

Although formally derived from the noun 'faggot' by adding '-y', the derogatory meaning is not predictable from the literal sense 'bundle of sticks' and represents a distinct, socially charged usage.

Etymology

Faggoty is also used as a hurtful, offensive insult. It comes from the same old faggot ('bundle of sticks'), but over time people used the word to insult others, so faggoty is a deeply hurtful word that should not be used.
