Morphology

hoghead = hog + head (opaque) = hog + head

The insult is based on a metaphorical compound, but the specific meaning 'stupid or coarse person' is not directly predictable from 'hog' and 'head'.

Etymology

Hoghead is an old insult made from hog 'pig' and head 'head' to picture someone as pig-like in mind or ways. That's why hoghead is used as an offensive word for a rude, stubborn, or stupid person.
