Formally transparent as 'Hashim' + '-ite' (denoting affiliation or descent), but understanding requires knowledge of the proper name 'Hashim'.
Etymology
Hashemite comes from the Arabic name Hashim, an early ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad, and originally meant 'from the family of Hashim'. That's why Hashemite is used as an adjective for things that belong to that royal family, like traditions or institutions in Jordan.
