abandonee

/əˈbæn.dəˌni/ noun

One to whom something is abandoned.

Word Origin Abandonee is formed from 'abandon' plus the suffix '-ee' (one who receives the action). Abandon itself comes from Old French 'abandoner', from the phrase 'a bandon' meaning 'at one's disposal, under one's jurisdiction'. The root 'ban' meant a proclamation or command, so to abandon originally meant to release from one's control. Related words: ban, banish, and even bandit (originally one who is banned).

noun One to whom something is abandoned. countable
