Plural form of advisee; multiple people who receive advice or guidance from advisors.
The plural of advisee (advise plus -ee plus regular plural -s). The word became more common in academic and professional contexts where advisors work with multiple advisees.
Universities use this term officially—a professor might have 20 advisees, each person is an advisee, but you rarely hear someone introduce themselves as an 'advisee' in normal conversation because the role is typically defined by the advisor's job.
