Morphology
fecking = feck (transparent) = feck + ing
The exclamation is formed from the base expletive 'feck' with the productive '-ing' form; its expressive meaning is predictable from that base.
Etymology
Fecking started as the Irish shout feck, used as a milder version of the swear fuck, and people use it on its own to show anger, surprise, or frustration. That's why someone might shout fecking when something goes wrong.
