Morphology

suck-ass = suck + ass (semi-transparent) = suck + ass

The components 'suck' and 'ass' are obvious, but the combined slang meanings (low quality; obsequious person) are idiomatic and not fully predictable for average learners.

Etymology

The word suck-ass comes from two parts: suck (as in 'to suck up', meaning 'to flatter') and ass (a rude word for a person or used to say something is 'bad' or 'worthless'). So, suck-ass can mean a person who flatters too much or something that is very poor or worthless.
