Surface Forms

shithead singular
shitheads plural

Morphology

shithead = shit + head (transparent) = shit + head

The insult is a straightforward compound of 'shit' + 'head'; the derogatory meaning (a contemptible person) is predictable from the components, though vulgar.

Etymology

Shithead simply joins shit ('excrement') and head to make a blunt, crude picture of someone with 'shit' on their head, which explains why the word is used as a strong insult for a 'stupid' or 'contemptible' person.
