Morphology

Judahite = Judah (transparent) = Judah + ite

Formed by the proper name 'Judah' plus the productive English suffix '-ite' meaning 'member or native of', so the relation is straightforward for learners familiar with the base.

Etymology

Judahite comes from the name Judah, from Hebrew Yehuda meaning 'praised', plus the ending -ite that marks people or things from a place, like in Israelite. So a Judahite thing is 'from Judah' or connected to its people, culture, or institutions.
