A person from Edom, an ancient kingdom in the Middle East (biblical times), or a follower of Edomite religion and culture.
From Edom (the ancient name) plus the suffix '-ite' (meaning a person from or follower of). Edom appears in biblical texts as a territory in ancient Levant.
The Edomites were neighbors of ancient Israel, and biblical stories about their relationship are complicated—sometimes peaceful, sometimes enemies—which shows how ancient kingdoms had complex diplomacy like modern countries do.
