Etymology[edit]

disown +‎ -ee

Noun[edit]

disownee (plural disownees)

  1. One who is disowned.
    • 2012 May 23, Bryan Caplan, “The Freedom to Disown”, in EconLog‎[1]:
      Why not? Because the disownee can’t justly claim to own the esteem or riches of the disowner, even if the disownee’s life will be very hard without that esteem and riches.
