Morphology
total + cockwad
The head noun 'cockwad' is a nonstandard, vulgar coinage whose literal constituents ('cock' + 'wad') do not compositionally yield the sense 'foolish or obnoxious person', so its meaning is not predictable from the parts. 'Total' only functions as an intensifier; because the core noun is idiosyncratic and absent from dictionaries, a B1 learner who knows the separate words would not reliably infer the idiomatic insult.
Etymology
Total cockwad joins cock and wad to make a strong picture: cock can mean a rooster or a rude word for a man's private part, and wad is a clumsy lump or bundle. One popular idea is that this messy, noisy image suggests someone loud, rude and foolish, so people use it to call someone an 'extremely foolish or obnoxious person'.
