abductee

/æbˌdəkˈti/ noun

An abducted person, in particular a person abducted by aliens.

Word Origin Abductee is a modern word for someone who has been abducted, formed from abduct + -ee (the person acted upon). Abduct itself is from Latin ab- 'away' and ducere 'to lead' — literally 'lead away'. The root ducere is incredibly productive: conduct (lead together), deduce (lead down), induce (lead in), produce (lead forth), reduce (lead back). So an abductee is the person led away.

noun An abducted person, in particular a person abducted by aliens. countable

The abductee claimed to have been taken aboard a spacecraft by beings from another planet.
