Morphology

amirite = am + I + right (transparent) = am + I + right

The written form is a phonetic contraction of the phrase 'am I right?', so its meaning is directly recoverable from those words in informal contexts.

Etymology

Amirite comes from the spoken question 'am I right' and is a playful, fast spelling used online. Think of it as am + right run together, so people add amirite to a sentence when they want others to agree or to be funny.
