employee
UK: ɪmˈplɔɪiː | US: ɪmˈplɔɪiː
n. a person employed for wages or salary, typically in a non-executive role.
The word "employee" originates from the French employé (past participle of employer, meaning "to use or hire"), which entered English in the early 19th century. The suffix -ee (from Old French -é) denotes the recipient of an action, contrasting with -er (the doer). Thus, an employee is one who is "employed" by an employer. The morphemes preserve their original spelling and logical division, making the term easy to reconstruct.
