Alienee

Alienee is a noun that refers to one to whom property is transferred.  Our word of the day comes from the Latin word alienus (ah lee AY noose) which means ‘foreign’ or ‘belonging to another.’ The word entered English in the mid 16th century and is most typically used in the world of law. Example: The alienee of the home didn’t seem especially grateful for having inherited such an enormous estate. I guess some people are so accustomed to being gifted great things that a new mansion is no big deal.
