Morphology

Heideggerian = Heidegger (transparent) = Heidegger + ian

The form is the proper name 'Heidegger' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ian' meaning 'relating to', which is directly interpretable by learners who recognise the name.

Etymology

Heideggerian is named after the German philosopher Heidegger and the part -ian, which means 'related to' or 'belonging to', just like Christian means 'related to Christ'. So Heideggerian describes ideas or methods that come from Martin Heidegger.
