Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably built from the constituents: 'dumb' (stupid) + 'fucker' (insulting term for a person), so a learner who knows both words will readily infer it refers to a very foolish or contemptible person. The expression's offensiveness and vulgar register do not obscure its compositional meaning, only its social/pragmatic use.
Etymology
The insult dumb fucker puts together dumb and fucker. Long ago dumb meant 'cannot speak' and later came to mean 'stupid', and fucker is a very rude word added to make the insult stronger, so the whole phrase means 'a very stupid person'.
