Morphology

consultee = consult (transparent) = consult + ee

Formed by the verb 'consult' plus the productive English suffix '-ee' meaning a person involved in or affected by the action, so learners familiar with 'consult' and '-ee' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Consultee is built from consult, which means 'to ask for advice', plus the ending -ee, the same ending as in employee that marks 'the person involved'. So a consultee is someone who takes part in a consultation: the person who is asked for views or who gives feedback.
