Root Explanation

The word 'formee' originates from Old French 'formé', meaning formed or shaped. It is derived from the Latin 'formare', which means to shape or form. The suffix '-ee' indicates a person who is the recipient of an action. Therefore, 'formee' refers to a person who has been shaped or formed.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who has been 'shaped' ('formare') — that's why 'formee' means a person who has been formed.
