Morphology

Viennese = Vienna (transparent) = Vienna + ese

Formed by adding the productive demonymic suffix '-ese' to the place name 'Vienna', so the meaning 'relating to Vienna' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Viennese comes from the city name Vienna with an ending like -ese, which you see in words such as Chinese or Japanese and that means 'from' or 'relating to' a place. So Viennese is used for people, food, or culture 'from' Vienna.
