resignee singular

resignees plural

Morphology

resignee = resign (opaque) = resign + ee

Although morphologically 'resign' + '-ee', the sense 'a person who has resigned' contradicts the usual '-ee' meaning (patient/recipient) and is driven by folk analogy, so learners cannot reliably derive it.

Etymology

Resignee is formed from resign plus the ending -ee, and here it names the person who has formally 'given up' a job or position. Think of resign meaning 'to give up' (from Latin signare 'to mark' with re- 'back') so a resignee is the one who has resigned.
