Morphology
Qatari = Qatar (transparent) = Qatar + i
The suffix '-i' is a common way to form demonyms, indicating a person from a specific place.
Etymology
A helpful way to remember Qatari as a person is to see it as Qatar + -i, meaning 'from Qatar', just like in Iraqi or Pakistani. So a Qatari is someone who is 'from' or a citizen of Qatar.
