Morphology

advisee = advise (transparent) = advise + ee

Formed by the productive suffix '-ee' attached to the verb 'advise', meaning 'person who receives advice'.

Etymology

Advisee is made from advise and -ee, where advise means 'give advice' and -ee means 'one who receives', just like in employee. So an advisee is the person who receives advice, often a student assigned to an academic advisor.
