Morphology

Taracahitian = Taracahit (semi-transparent) = Taracahit + ian

The suffix '-ian' productively forms demonyms ('person from X'), but the root 'Taracahit' is an obscure proper name, so the exact referent is not inferable by most learners.

Etymology

The word Taracahitian comes from the name Taracahit, an indigenous people of Mexico, so it simply means someone 'from Taracahit' or a member of that people's culture.
