Talk:inheritee

The word "inheritee" does not exist. Is there any proper dictionary (printed, published or compiled by an university mentioning it?)

Existence is not determined by university-published dictionaries, but instead by, well, whether it exists in actual use. See WT:Criteria for inclusion for more. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 07:49, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

inheritee

Rfv-sense (rare) heir, inheritor (one who inherits).

This is the opposite of the expected meaning, which would be “one who is inherited from” (such as a testator, but potentially other things if inherit is used in a specialised context). I can certainly see cites for the expected meaning, however. Theknightwho (talk) 00:39, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Cited. Might be "unexpected" logically but it's far more common than the ancestor sense, which nowadays seems to be limited to texts talking about East Asian (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) contexts. Neither are rare. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 09:06, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
