Morphology
millionairess = millionaire (transparent) = million + aire + ess
The word is formed by adding the feminine suffix '-ess' to the clearly recognizable base 'millionaire', so the derivation and meaning are directly recoverable.
Etymology
Millionairess comes from million meaning 'a very large number' and the ending -ess meaning 'female', like in actress. So a millionairess is a woman who has at least a million in money.
