Morphology
no-good + ass
The insult is compositionally built: 'no-good' conveys 'not good / worthless' and 'ass' is a familiar crude term for a contemptible person, so a learner who knows those constituents can readily infer the overall meaning. The construction follows a common modifier + noun pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent as a negative-quality label, making it understandable without prior exposure.
Etymology
No-good ass joins no-good (meaning 'worth nothing') and ass, a rude word that comes from 'donkey' for a stupid or stubborn person. Picture a useless, lazy donkey and you see the image, so the phrase means 'a person who is worthless or mean'.
