That usage is more common, and I’ve known some residents of other countries in North America and South American to get very offended at being classed as "American" in any respect.



However, from pure derivation from the name, “American” could apply to anyone from the two continents so named.  Your same link continues, “However, this usage is seen by some as a semantic "misappropriation" by those who argue that "American" should be widened<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_prescription> in English to also include<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_change> people or things from anywhere in the American continents.[2]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_(word)#cite_note-Mencken-2>[3]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_(word)#cite_note-Gage-3>”



Many official documents side-step the whole thing by using United States as a nationality.

Yes. And as you can see from your first link, there are South Americans, Central Americans (and also North Americans). All are technically "Americans". People from the US who travel widely are often taught to be sensitive to these various populations of Americans, and not hubristically suggest that only citizens of the US are Americans.

Really? I've never heard this before. The more obvious explanation is that this is a simple case of a word having multiple meanings depending on context, and when that context is nationality, "American" unambiguously refers to someone from the USA. To quote Wikipedia, "In modern English, American generally refers to persons or things related to the United States of America; among native English speakers this usage is almost universal, with any other use of the term requiring specification." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_(word)] Incidentally, that page has a lengthy history of the etymology of "American" as a moniker for people from the former British colonies.
