Morphology

bajillion = zillion (transparent) = baj + illion

Playful prefix 'baj-' attached to the pseudo-suffix '-illion' yields an obvious hyperbolic indefinite large number.

Etymology

Bajillion is a humorous, made-up number formed with the familiar ending -illion, like billion and the playful word zillion. So bajillion does not mean an exact amount but is used to say 'a very large' or 'not exact' number for effect.
