Morphology

transferee = transfer (transparent) = transfer + ee

A straightforward legal/administrative formation: 'transfer' + '-ee' yields the recipient of a transfer (title, property, rights).

Etymology

Transferee comes from the word transfer ('give or move to someone else') combined with the ending -ee ('the person who receives'), as in payee or employee. In law this explains the meaning: a transferee is the person who receives a title, right, or property.
