Relating to or resembling the color azure; blue or sky-like in appearance.
From 'azure' (blue, from Persian 'lāžuvard' via Arabic and Latin) plus the adjectival suffix '-ean,' which means 'of or relating to.' This follows the pattern of creating adjectives like 'European' from nouns.
The word azure itself comes from lapis lazuli, a stone so valuable in medieval times that ultramarine blue was literally worth more than gold—azurean describes anything with that divine, precious color!
