signee

/sˈɪɡni/ noun

One who is signed (signed up, enlisted) by someone else; thus, one who signs a contract, especially in athletic contexts.

Word Origin Sign comes from Latin signum 'mark, token,' and the suffix -ee (from French -é) indicates the person who does or receives the action. So a signee is the one who makes their mark — the signer. The same root gives us signature, signal, and assign (mark out to someone).

noun One who is signed (signed up, enlisted) by someone else; thus, one who signs a contract, especially in athletic contexts. countable

The team's newest signee is expected to start in next week's game.
