Morphology

suckhole = suck + hole (semi-transparent) = suck + hole

The components 'suck' + 'hole' transparently form a derogatory compound for someone who 'sucks up', but understanding requires familiarity with the colloquial verb 'suck up' and the pejorative use of '-hole'.

Etymology

Suckhole comes from suck (as in 'to suck up', meaning 'to flatter') and hole (a rude insult), so it shows someone who flatters a person in power to gain an advantage.
