Etymology
Irlandez comes from the country name Irlanda (Ireland) plus the Romanian suffix -ez, which forms adjectives and demonyms of nationality. This suffix entered Romanian through French, mirroring the pattern in words like francez (French) and englez (English). The model was likely French irlandais, adapted to the Romanian -ez pattern rather than borrowed whole.
