Morphology

frickin = frick (transparent) = frick + in

Formed by adding the colloquial -in (representing -ing) to the verb 'frick' to create an intensifying adverbial/expletive form, so the meaning follows directly from the base.

Etymology

Frickin is an informal, softer form of the strong rude word fucking, used to add extra feeling without being as offensive. A helpful way to remember it is to think of it like saying 'very' or the similar word freakin when you want to emphasize something.
