Morphology
freakin = freaking (semi-transparent) = freak + in
The form is clearly derived from 'freak' + the participial/gerund suffix, but the colloquial '-in' spelling (g-dropping) and its use as an idiomatic intensifier make the exact meaning somewhat unpredictable for learners.
Etymology
Freakin is a casual form of freaking, built from the common word freak, as in freak out, which means 'to feel very upset, surprised, or excited'. People often use freakin to add emphasis, usually as a milder, informal substitute for the stronger swear 'fucking'.
