Baltimorean positive

Morphology

Baltimorean = Baltimore (transparent) = Baltimore + an

Formed by adding the demonymic/adjectival suffix '-an' to the place name 'Baltimore', so the relation to the city and its people is directly inferable.

Etymology

Baltimorean comes from the city name Baltimore plus the ending -an, which is the same ending you see in American and means 'from' or 'belonging to'. So a Baltimorean adjective describes something that comes from or relates to Baltimore, like a local accent or tradition.
