Morphology

peed + off

The form 'peed off' does not transparently combine the literal meanings of its parts: 'peed' reads as the past of 'pee' (to urinate) and 'off' does not yield a meaning of 'annoyed'. The adjectival meaning 'annoyed' is idiomatic (likely a variant of 'peeved off' or 'pissed off') and cannot be predicted from the constituent words, so it is opaque to learners.

Etymology

Peed off may come from the old word peeve, which meant a small, annoying thing like a pebble in your shoe. When little irritations pile up you feel 'annoyed or angry', so that image helps explain the modern meaning.
