Surface Forms
Morphology
goat = G + O + A + T
This is an acronymic slang use built from initial letters of the phrase 'greatest of all time', so the meaning is not recoverable from the form alone without prior knowledge of the expansion.
Etymology
Goat as slang for the best comes from the letters G.O.A.T., which stand for 'greatest of all time' and became popular in music and sport. So when fans call someone the 'goat' they mean that person is the very best ever.
