Morphology
Montenegrin = Montenegro (transparent) = Montenegro + in
Formed by a standard demonymic suffix attached to the country name 'Montenegro', so the relation is directly predictable.
Etymology
Montenegrin comes from the country name Montenegro, which itself comes from Italian Monte Negro and the local name Crna Gora, both meaning 'black mountain'. So calling something Montenegrin means it is from that 'black mountain' country and linked to its people, language, or culture.
