Morphology

undereye = eye (transparent) = under + eye

Meaning is directly derived from 'under' + 'eye' and an average learner who knows those parts will understand 'located beneath the eye'.

Etymology

The word undereye comes from the simple parts under ('below') and eye ('eye'), so it literally means 'below the eye'. This helps you remember an undereye adjective describes something that sits under the eye, like an undereye serum or cream.
