Morphology
fuck + you
The insulting force of 'fuck you' is partly derivable from combining the vulgar verb 'fuck' with the pronoun 'you' — it directs a hostile act at the addressee, so a learner who knows both words can often infer it is an insult. However, its conventionalized, taboo pragmatic meaning and intensity (not a literal sexual act but a strong interpersonal insult) are culturally loaded and may not be fully predictable from the constituents alone, so full understanding requires exposure to its pragmatic use.
Etymology
Fuck you comes from putting the very strong verb fuck, which once meant 'to have sex', together with you to point at a person. The shocking idea made it a powerful way to show rejection or insult, so it now means 'to strongly reject or insult someone'.
