A person or thing that is being coerced or forced; the object of coercion.
From coerce + -end (Latin passive suffix found in gerundive forms), making 'the thing-to-be-coerced,' similar to 'addressee' or 'referee.'
This grammatical term is extremely rare outside formal logic and linguistics—it's the passive counterpart to 'coercer,' but most English speakers simply say 'victim' or 'the coerced person' instead.
