awardee

/əwɔɹˈdi/ noun

The recipient of an award or special honor.

Word Origin Award comes from Old French 'awarder,' from Latin 'exwardare' — literally 'to watch out for, to decide after watching.' The root is Proto-Germanic *wardōną (to guard), which also gives us ward, warden, reward, and guard. An awardee is the one who receives the award, with the -ee suffix marking the recipient. So an awardee is someone who has been 'watched out for' and chosen.
