A person who has been selected or conscripted through a draft, especially for military service or in a sports draft.
From 'draft' plus the suffix '-ee,' which denotes a person who receives or is the object of an action (like 'employee' or 'payee').
The term 'draftee' carries different emotional weight depending on context: a sports draftee is celebrating their dreams coming true, while a military draftee might be facing life-or-death consequences.
