Morphology
muthafucka = motherfucker (semi-transparent) = mother + fuck + a
The components 'mother' + 'fuck' are recognisable and the form reflects the slang variant of 'motherfucker', but the exclamatory use and respelling ('-er' → '-a') make direct derivation imperfect for learners.
Etymology
Muthafucka comes from the older compound mother + fuck, and people often say it quickly as mutha or muthafucka. Because those parts are very strong swear words, it is used as a loud exclamation to show 'anger', 'surprise', or strong feeling.
