Gazee

/ɡæˈziː/ noun

Definition

A person who is being gazed at or looked at, though this is a very rare and archaic term.

Etymology

From 'gaze' with the suffix '-ee' (indicating the recipient of an action), following the pattern of English words like 'employee' (one who is employed) and 'trainee' (one who is trained).

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that most dictionaries don't even include it, but it's a perfect example of how English's '-ee' suffix can theoretically be added to almost any verb to create a noun for whoever receives the action.
