Morphology

frigging = frig (opaque) = frig + ing

The form is built from frig + ing, but the emphatic adverbial use is a grammaticalized euphemistic expletive and is not compositionally predictable from the base verb.

Etymology

Frigging is a milder, informal way to add strong feeling — it grew as a softened form of the very strong 'f-word' and is like the more polite freaking. So saying 'frigging tired' is a way to say 'very' or 'extremely' tired.
