Morphology

franchisee = franchise (transparent) = franchise + ee

Formed by the productive agent/recipient suffix '-ee' added to 'franchise', yielding 'person who holds a franchise', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Franchisee comes from franchise, a word that originally meant 'free' or a 'special right', and the ending -ee, as in employee, means 'a person who receives'. So a franchisee is someone who receives the right or permission to run a business using another company's name, which is why the word means a person given that business right.
