Morphology

Angolan = Angola (transparent) = Angola + an

Formed by the productive demonymal suffix '-an' added to the country name 'Angola', so the relation is directly inferable.

Etymology

Angolan comes from the country name Angola, which itself comes from a local word 'ngola' meaning 'king'. The ending -an is the same as in American or Italian, so Angolan means a person from Angola.
