Morphology

fucking = fuck (semi-transparent) = fuck + ing

Formally derived from 'fuck' + -ing, but the grammaticalized use as an expletive intensifier departs from the literal sexual meaning.

Etymology

The word fucking is often used as a strong 'intensifier' that means 'very' or shows anger or surprise. This use comes from people turning the rude verb fuck into a forceful marker in speech, so fucking makes a feeling or idea much stronger.
