People from Assam; inhabitants or natives of the Assam region.
From Assam + -ites suffix (meaning people from a place). The suffix comes from -ite, ultimately from Greek.
The -ites suffix is ancient—Greeks called themselves Athenites, and we still use it for place-based groups, making it one of English's most durable word-building tools.
