Root Explanation

Debauchee is derived from the French word 'déboucher' (meaning to lead away or to seduce) and the suffix '-ee' (indicating a person who is the recipient of an action). The term refers to a person who has been led away from moral restraint, often indulging in excessive pleasures or vices.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who has been 'led away' from good behavior ('déboucher') and is now indulging in excess — that's what a debauchee is.
