A person who has been discharged, especially from military service or a hospital; someone released from an obligation or duty.
From discharge + -ee (suffix marking the recipient of an action). The -ee ending comes from French -é and marks the person receiving an action.
Military and medical records are full of 'dischargees' — the word efficiently labels the specific moment when someone transitions from institutional to civilian life.
