Plural of garnishee: people or entities who receive a notice to pay or surrender a debtor's money or property to satisfy a judgment.
From 'garnishee,' which adds the French legal suffix '-ee' (indicating recipient) to 'garnish,' making it 'one who receives a garnishment order.'
Employers are often 'garnishees' because they hold the paycheck—so the court doesn't sue the debtor directly, but tells the employer to hand over part of the salary!
