Morphology
scuzzoid + remark
The noun 'remark' is transparent, but the modifier 'scuzzoid' is not a recognized dictionary word and appears to be nonce/slang; its root and evaluative sense are not accessible to an average B1 learner. The morphological elements (e.g. a possible −oid suffix) are rare and the derogatory, contemptuous meaning cannot reliably be derived from the parts, so the overall expression is unpredictable for learners.
Etymology
Scuzzoid remark may come from the word scuzz, meaning 'dirty' or 'low', plus the ending -oid, which means 'like' or 'similar to'. So it paints the image of a comment that is 'like scuzz'—dirty, rude, or insulting—and that's why it means a rude, offensive remark.
