Plural form of addressee; multiple people to whom something is addressed.
Regular English pluralization of the French-origin word 'addressee,' following standard 19th-century patterns for adopting and modifying French terms.
Using 'addressees' instead of 'recipients' sounds more formal, which is why legal documents and official correspondence still use it—it's a small linguistic marker that signals importance or official business.
