Morphology
cunty + mood
The meaning is directly compositional: 'cunty' is a derogatory adjective (derived from the obscene noun 'cunt') meaning rude/abrasive, and 'mood' is an emotional state, so together they mean being in a rude or unpleasant state. Thus a learner who knows both constituents can derive the MWE's meaning, although the adjective is slang and highly offensive and may be unfamiliar or inappropriate for learners.
Etymology
Cunty mood comes from the very rude word 'cunt' with '-y' added to make cunty, and mood meaning a short, temporary feeling. The image is of someone feeling especially mean or nasty, so cunty mood is used to say a person is being 'rude' or 'unpleasant' right now.
