Morphology

lookee = look (semi-transparent) = look + ee

Clearly derived from the verb 'look' with the colloquial suffix '-ee' to create a playful verb form, but the formation is informal and nonstandard.

Etymology

Lookee comes from look plus the playful ending -ee, making the word sound more casual or surprised. That's why people also use it as a verb meaning 'to look' or 'to see' in a light, friendly way.
