Morphology

feel + a + bit + depresh

The meaning is largely derivable from the parts: 'feel' (experience) + 'a bit' (slightly) plus 'depresh', which is an informal clipped variant of 'depressed', yields 'slightly depressed'. However, because 'depresh' is non-standard slang/phonetic clipping rather than a regular morphological form, it may not be immediately predictable to learners without prior exposure, so transparency is partial.

Etymology

Feel a bit depresh is an informal shortening of depressed into depresh, with a bit making the feeling small. Imagine a tiny grey cloud or a light weight on your chest — that picture helps explain why it means 'to feel slightly sad'.
