Morphology

supervisee = supervise (transparent) = supervise + ee

The patient/recipient-forming suffix '-ee' is transparently attached to the verb 'supervise' to form 'person who is supervised'.

Etymology

The word supervisee comes from super- ('over') and -vise (from a word for 'see'), plus the ending -ee that marks a person, as in employee and trainee. So, a supervisee is the person who is 'seen over'—the one being watched, guided, or checked by a supervisor.
