Morphology

whacked = whack (semi-transparent) = whack + ed

Formally formed by 'whack' + '-ed', but the British informal sense 'extremely tired' is a figurative extension from being struck or severely affected and is not fully predictable from the base verb.

Etymology

The word whacked comes from the verb whack, which means 'to hit'. In British informal use it means 'extremely tired' because if you are 'whacked' you are like someone who has been beaten and so feels worn out, similar to the word beat.
