A person or institution that receives accreditation or official recognition of quality or standards.
From accredit (ad- + credit 'believe,' from Latin credere) plus -ee (suffix for one who receives an action). This is a modern formation using the -ee suffix.
The -ee suffix is fascinating because it creates the 'receiving' version of actions—an 'employee' receives employment, and an 'accreditee' receives accreditation. It's a neat grammatical way to flip perspective.
