Morphology

Nicaraguan = Nicaragua (transparent) = Nicaragua + an

Adjectival use formed by attaching the productive demonym/adjectival suffix '-an' to the country name, yielding 'relating to Nicaragua', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nicaraguan comes from the country name Nicaragua plus the ending -an, which means 'from' or 'of' as in Mexican or Brazilian. So Nicaraguan is used to describe something 'from Nicaragua', such as its people, culture, or language.
