Root Explanation

Testee → It is formed from "test" (from Latin "testari", meaning to witness or to prove) and "-ee" (a suffix used to indicate a person who is the recipient of an action). The word "testee" refers to a person who is being tested or evaluated.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is being 'witnessed' or 'proven' ('test') in a situation, and the '-ee' indicates that this person is the one receiving the test.
