A person to whom authority or responsibility is delegated; a delegate appointed by another.
From 'delegate' with the suffix '-ee' (from Latin '-atus') marking the recipient of an action, parallel to formations like 'employee' and 'trainee.'
The suffix '-ee' creates a clear grammatical pair: the 'delegater' does the delegating, the 'delegatee' receives it—though 'delegate' as a noun can refer to either person, which sometimes creates confusion.
