Morphology
off-off-off-Broadway = off-off-Broadway (transparent) = off + off + off + Broadway
Formed by adding 'off' to 'off-off-Broadway' to indicate an additional degree of separation from mainstream Broadway, a meaning easily inferred from the parts.
Etymology
Off-off-off-Broadway comes from adding extra offs to Broadway, where each off means 'away from' the main stage, so three offs show a production that is very small, independent, and experimental.
