Morphology
Azerbaijani = Azerbaijan (transparent) = Azerbaijan + i
Standard formation from the country name plus '-i' yields an adjective meaning 'relating to Azerbaijan', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Azerbaijani as an adjective means 'from Azerbaijan', and the country name has the part azer meaning 'fire', so the word often points to things from the 'land of fire'. So an Azerbaijani dish, song, or tradition is one that comes from that country.
