Morphology
motherfreaking + amazing
The phrase is built from an intensifier ('motherfreaking' — a euphemistic, expletive-like intensifier related to 'freaking'/'motherfucking') plus the adjective 'amazing'. Knowing the constituents, a B1 learner can readily infer the compositional pattern INTENSIFIER + ADJ = ‘very/extremely amazing’; this follows a common cross-linguistic pattern of expletive intensifiers, so the meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
Motherfreaking amazing comes from people using a very strong swear for emphasis and then making it less strong, creating a cleaner form of motherfucking amazing by using freaking instead. So people say motherfreaking amazing to mean 'extremely impressive' while avoiding a very offensive word.
