Morphology

frigging = frig (semi-transparent) = frig + ing

The word is formally frig + ing, but the slang sense 'tamper with' is only loosely predictable and depends on a specialized colloquial meaning of the base verb.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the tamper sense of frigging is to think of the word rig ('to fix or cheat') mixed with the swear form, which gives the idea of 'tamper with' or 'falsify'. So 'frigging the numbers' means changing them dishonestly.
