retiree
UK: rɪˌtaɪəˈriː | US: rɪˌtaɪˈriː
n. a person who has retired from employment or active service
The word "retiree" combines "retire," derived from the French "retirer" (to withdraw), with the suffix "-ee," borrowed from Old French "-é" (indicating the recipient of an action). The suffix "-ee" is commonly used in English to denote a person affected by an action (e.g., "employee," "trainee"). Thus, a "retiree" is literally "one who has withdrawn" from work, reflecting the transition from active employment to a post-career stage.
