saudi
n. countablen. a person from Saudi Arabia. You can also use it as a short way to talk about the country's government or its people in general.

While the term technically refers to the ruling dynasty, in common parlance a Saudi is any national of the kingdom, regardless of their specific tribal or familial lineage.
Borrowed from Arabic سُعُودِيّ (suʕūdiyy), from سُعُود (suʕūd), the name of the Saud family, who rule Saudi Arabia, and the adjectival suffix ـِيّ (-iyy)., equivalent to Saud + -i.
The noun is always capitalized. When referring to the people as a group, it is often used with the definite article ('the Saudis').
