Etymology of APPOINTEE
The word "appointee" originated from the verb "appoint" in the late 15th century. The noun form, "appointee", emerged in the early 19th century. The term is derived from the Middle English word "appointen", which came from the Old French word "appointer". In turn, "appointer" traces back to the Late Latin word "appunctare", where "ad-" means "to" and "punctum" means "a point or a dot". The Latin term suggests the act of designating or marking a specific point or time. Over time, "appoint" evolved to mean assigning or designating a person to a particular position or task, giving rise to the word "appointee" as someone who is appointed or designated for a specific role.
