Morphology

feminazi = feminist + Nazi (semi-transparent) = femin + nazi

Formally a blend of 'feminist' and 'Nazi' so the components are obvious, but the insulting metaphorical meaning (equating feminism with Nazism) is a non-literal, evaluative shift not predictable from normal morphology.

Etymology

Feminazi comes from combining feminist and Nazi, so it compares a woman to a Nazi and works as a harsh insult; it is used for a person seen as an 'extreme' or very aggressive feminist and is widely considered offensive.
