Morphology

whoredom = whore (transparent) = whore + dom

Straightforward nominal formation from 'whore' with the productive suffix '-dom' denoting the state, practice, or condition of being a whore.

Etymology

The word whoredom comes from an old English word hore, meaning 'prostitute', plus the ending -dom, meaning 'state' or 'condition', as in freedom or kingdom. So whoredom simply means the 'state of prostitution'.
