Morphology

foodgasm = food + orgasm (semi-transparent) = food + gasm

Formed by blending 'food' and 'orgasm' so components are obvious, but the meaning is a metaphorical intense pleasure from food rather than a literal sexual event.

Etymology

Foodgasm is made from food and orgasm. A helpful way to remember it is that orgasm is used here to mean 'very strong pleasure', so foodgasm is a fun way to say you feel great pleasure from eating or seeing delicious food.
