A person who is unconscious or in a comatose state; someone affected by a coma.
From coma + -ate (suffix forming nouns denoting individuals with a condition). Directly parallels medical terminology like 'diabetes' or 'asthmate' in structure.
While 'comate' is a real medical term, doctors rarely use it because 'comatose patient' is clearer—it's one of those 'technically correct' words that lost the naming competition to simpler alternatives in everyday language.
