Surface Forms

wacked positive

Morphology

wacked = whack (opaque) = whack + ed

Although the spelling is a regular -ed form, the slang sense 'strange, silly, or crazy' is a lexicalized meaning that is not transparently built from whack.

Etymology

Wacked can also mean 'strange' or 'silly' and a helpful way to remember this is to link it to the familiar word wacky ('crazy' or 'funny'), since both describe odd or playful behaviour. That's why wacked can be used for something amusingly strange.
