Morphology

educatee = educate (transparent) = educate + ee

Meaning is the regular recipient/patient interpretation of the verb 'educate' with the common '-ee' suffix, so the sense is predictable despite the word's rarity.

Etymology

Educatee comes from educate, which comes from an old Latin word educare meaning 'to bring up', and the ending -ee means 'one who receives', as in employee. So an educatee is someone who receives education or is being taught.
