Kuwaiti = Kuwait (transparent) = Kuwait + i

Standard adjectival formation from the proper noun 'Kuwait' using '-i' to indicate relation to the country or its people.

Etymology

Kuwaiti comes from the place name Kuwait, which in Arabic is kuwayt and means 'small fort', a little form of kūt 'fort'. The ending -i means 'from', so Kuwaiti is someone or something 'from Kuwait', which is why we use it for people, places, and things connected to Kuwait.
