Depositee

/ˌdɛpɒzɪˈtiː/ noun

Definition

A person who receives money or valuables on deposit; someone to whom something is entrusted.

Etymology

From 'deposit' + '-ee' meaning 'one who receives.' This is a legal term parallel to 'depositor' (one who gives) and 'depositary' (one who holds).

Kelly Says

In legal documents, you'll find 'depositee' paired with 'depositor'—one person gives, one person receives—but interestingly, the person holding the goods (depositary) is the one responsible in court.
