Morphology

Brabantine = Brabant (transparent) = Brabant + ine

Formed directly from the place-name 'Brabant' with the adjectival/demonymic suffix '-ine', so the relation to the region is clear.

Etymology

Brabantine comes from the place name Brabant, a region in what is now Belgium and the Netherlands, and the ending -ine, which means 'from' or 'of'. So a Brabantine style or building is one that is 'from Brabant' and shows the art and ways of that region.
