Morphology

Moroccan = Morocco (transparent) = Morocco + an

The adjectival/demonymic suffix '-an' transparently derives the adjective 'Moroccan' from the country name.

Etymology

Moroccan comes from the country name Morocco, which in English comes from the city Marrakesh, and the Arabic name al-Maghrib means 'the west'. So something called Moroccan belongs to or is connected with Morocco, its people, or its culture.
