Morphology

alienee = alien (opaque) = alien + ee

The suffix '-ee' typically indicates a person who is the recipient of an action, but the legal context of 'alienee' is not transparent to all learners.

Etymology

Alienee comes from alienate, which comes from Latin alienus meaning 'other'. The ending -ee, as in employee, means 'a person who receives the action', so an alienee is the person who receives a legal transfer of property.
