Morphology

chargee = charge (transparent) = charge + ee

Derived straightforwardly from 'charge' (to entrust or assign responsibility) + '-ee' indicating the person who is charged with the duty.

Etymology

The word chargee comes from charge 'responsibility' and the ending -ee, which means 'the person who is given something', as in payee. That's why a chargee can mean someone who is given care or responsibility for people or tasks.
