Morphology
goddamndest = goddamn (transparent) = goddamn + est
Regular superlative formation from the adjective 'goddamn' using '-est'; the meaning 'most extremely' is predictable from the base, though the word is colloquial and profane.
Etymology
Goddamndest comes from the strong phrase God + damn with the ending -est for 'most'; damn originally meant 'to condemn' and was used as a fierce curse. So goddamndest is a way to call something the 'most' extreme or shocking, which is why we use it to show something is very impressive, surprising, or intense.
