Etymology
'Austrian' originates from German, specifically the word 'Österreich', where 'ost-/oster-' meant 'east' and 'reich' meant 'realm' or 'kingdom'.
'Austrian' changed from the Old High German word 'Ostarrîchi' to the Medieval Latin/Latinized form 'Austria', and eventually became the modern English adjective/noun 'Austrian'.
Initially, it meant 'eastern realm' (a territorial name), but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to Austria or its people'.
