Morphology

Liverpudlian = Liverpool (transparent) = Liverpool + ian

The adjectival sense is the regular adjectival/demonymic result of adding '-ian' to the place name; the relation to 'Liverpool' is straightforward.

Etymology

Liverpudlian comes from Liverpool and the ending -ian, the same ending you see in Canadian or Italian, where -ian means 'from' or 'belonging to'. So as an adjective it means 'relating to Liverpool'.
