fricking = frick (transparent) = frick + ing
The adverbial/intensifying use reflects the standard participial/gerundial formation from 'frick' with no irregular sense change.
Etymology
Fricking began as a cleaner change of the strong swear fuck (and is like freaking) so people could intensify feelings without strong language, which is why you can use fricking like 'very' to show strong surprise or annoyance.
