Morphology

grantee = grant (transparent) = grant + ee

The suffix '-ee' clearly indicates the recipient of the action, making the word's meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Grantee is made from grant and the ending -ee. Grant means 'give' and -ee marks 'the one who receives', as in employee or payee. So a grantee is someone who officially receives money, rights, or property.
