A person who receives a caveat; someone against whom a legal caveat is filed, preventing certain actions until they respond.
From 'caveat' (Latin, 'let him beware') with the '-ee' suffix (common in legal English for the person affected by an action).
The legal term 'caveatee' sounds archaic, but it's still used in probate law—if someone files a 'caveat' to delay a will's processing, the executor becomes the 'caveatee' who must respond.
