Khazarian positive

Morphology

Khazarian = Khazar (transparent) = Khazar + ian

Formed by the productive adjectival/demonymic suffix '-ian' on the proper name 'Khazar', so the meaning 'relating to the Khazars' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Khazarian comes from the name Khazar, a medieval people from the area between Europe and Asia, plus the ending -ian, which means 'of' or 'from', like in Italian or American. So Khazarian means 'relating to the Khazars'.
