Morphology

examinee = examine (transparent) = examine + ee

Formed by the verb 'examine' plus the productive '-ee' nominalizer meaning 'person who is examined', so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Examinee is built from examine (meaning 'to look at closely') and the ending -ee, the same ending you see in employee or referee to show the person who receives the action. So, an examinee is the person being tested or taking an exam.
