Morphology

Gothamite = Gotham (transparent) = Gotham + ite

The demonymic suffix '-ite' attaches to the place-name 'Gotham' to form an inhabitant term, so the morphological relation is direct.

Etymology

Gothamite can also mean a person from the small English village Gotham, famous for old stories about the 'fools' of Gotham who acted silly to trick a king. So a Gothamite is someone who comes from that real village.
