Morphology

undereye = eye (transparent) = under + eye

The area 'under the eye' is directly and transparently built from 'under' + 'eye'.

Etymology

The word undereye is made of under ('below') and eye ('eye'), so it simply names the skin area just below your eye and reminds you exactly where that part of the face is.
