A Palestinian is a person from Palestine, or a person whose family comes from there. It is the ordinary, neutral word — the one you will hear in the news, in school, and in daily talk. It is not slang, and it is not a rude word. Though actually, the same spelling is also an adjective: Palestinian food, a Palestinian city, a Palestinian passport. The noun and the adjective look exactly the same, which English does with quite a few people-words.
Most Palestinians are Muslim, but some are Christian, and some are neither. Many live in the West Bank and Gaza; many live in Israel; many live in Jordan, Lebanon, and other countries, because families were moved or fled in earlier wars and never went home. When people say “the Palestinians,” they usually mean the people as a group, not one person. The place-name Palestine itself is used in more than one way — some mean a country, some mean a historic land — but Palestinian still points to the people.
組成Palestine (the place) + -ian (a person, or a thing, from that place). Same building pattern as Canadian or Italian.
