Morphology

whoreson = whore + son (semi-transparent) = whore + son

The insulting sense is historically derived from 'whore' + 'son' but has generalized from literal parentage to a broad term of contempt, so the relation is inferable but shifted.

Etymology

Whoreson comes from the parts whore and son, literally 'son of a whore'. People used it as a harsh insult to show dislike and no respect, so it came to mean someone they wanted to insult or shame.
