In the Light novel / Manga / anime : 弱キャラ友崎くん (Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun), the
main heroine regularly says “ONItada !” (translated by “HEXactly !”).

What would be the “de-pun-ed” word or how (from what words) is that word built
?

EDIT : to make myself clear, I'm mainly interested in a lexical answer (even
if the syntactic and contextual aspects are also interesting)

question
manga anime puns
Who can explain the pun/wordplay on “onitada” in the story “Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun”
It's not a pun. According to sources, it's abbreviated 鬼のごとく正しい ("correct like
an _oni_ ", "demonically correct"). It's not a set phrase ordinary people
recognize. The heroine somehow liked this funny phrase after seeing it
somewhere, and started using it as a pet phrase.

I have no idea where that HEX in the English translation came from.

See: <https://rightnonel.com/archives/760>

鬼 can be used as a prefix meaning "super-" (e.g. 鬼かわいい, 鬼やばい). Although it's
uncommon and slangy, young native speakers who are good at slang should be
able to intuit the meaning of おにただ without explanation. See:

answer
Since the question was explicitly asked to be more about the lexical
construction than about other considerations, and that the other answer eludes
that point. Here what I wanted to accept :

It is built as the abbreviated composition from 鬼(oni)+正しい(tadashii) ⇒ 鬼正
(onitada). for more considerations about the meaning and using context, see
[Naruto's answer](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/86850/27954).
