Brazilian

The word 'Brazilian' is a straightforward demonym formed by appending the adjectival suffix '-ian' to the name of the country, Brazil. The country's name originates from the Portuguese 'pau-brasil', the name for the brazilwood tree, a source of valuable red dye. The tree's name came from 'brasa', the Portuguese word for 'ember', a reference to the intense red color of the dye resembling glowing coals. Thus, 'Brazilian' literally means 'of or pertaining to the land of the brazilwood tree', with the '-ian' suffix standardly indicating origin or association.
