Morphology

frigging = frig (opaque) = frig + ing

Although the spelling suggests frig + ing, the interjective exclamation is a lexicalized euphemistic use rather than a meaning that follows directly from the base verb.

Etymology

Frigging as an exclamation comes from the same mild swear used to show anger or frustration, again as a softer stand-in for the 'f-word'. That's why people shout frigging when they are angry or annoyed.
