Morphology
fuck + you
The insulting force of 'fuck you' is partly derivable from combining the vulgar verb 'fuck' with the pronoun 'you' — it directs a hostile act at the addressee, so a learner who knows both words can often infer it is an insult. However, its conventionalized, taboo pragmatic meaning and intensity (not a literal sexual act but a strong interpersonal insult) are culturally loaded and may not be fully predictable from the constituents alone, so full understanding requires exposure to its pragmatic use.
Etymology
Fuck you as a quick shout uses the same idea: the strong word fuck aimed at you to attack someone. Because the word is so shocking, people use it to show 'anger' or 'contempt'.
