Definition
A person who rides in a chariot, especially as a passenger rather than the driver.
Etymology
Formed from 'chariot' plus the French suffix '-ee' (indicating a recipient of an action), following the pattern of words like 'employee' or 'refugee' where the '-ee' marks the person receiving or experiencing something.
Kelly Says
This rare word reveals how English speakers loved making occupational titles—if you drove a chariot, you were a charioteer, but if you just rode in one, you were a chariotee, a linguistic distinction that has vanished from modern English.
