Morphology
fuckuva + talent
The phrase is essentially a vulgar intensifier + noun (a colloquial contraction related to 'fuck'/'fucking' or 'fuck of a') so if a learner knows the expletive used as an intensifier and the noun 'talent' they can infer it means an exceptionally strong talent. However the nonstandard, fused form 'fuckuva' and its informal/vulgar register make the formation less regular and potentially unfamiliar to a B1 learner, so the relation is only partially transparent.
Etymology
The phrase fuckuva talent probably comes from saying fuckin' a quickly in informal speech. Said fast, fuckin' a sounds like fuckuva and became a rude, strong way to say 'very', so fuckuva talent means a very impressive skill.
