connected to Antigua
Etymology
'Antiguan-related' originates from Modern English, specifically by combining the adjective 'Antiguan' (from the place name 'Antigua') and the past-participial adjective 'related' (from the verb 'relate').
'Antiguan' is formed from the place name 'Antigua' (Spanish 'Antigua' meaning 'ancient' or 'old') with the English adjectival suffix '-an'. 'Related' comes from Old French/Latin via the verb 'relate' (Latin 'referre'/'relatus'). Together they produced the compound descriptive phrase 'Antiguan-related'.
Initially the elements referred specifically to the place name 'Antigua' and the action/state of being 'related'; over time the compound came to be used in Modern English to describe anything connected to Antigua or Antigua and Barbuda.
