ESCAPEE Meaning and
Definition
-
An escapee refers to an individual who has successfully broken free or fled from confinement, usually from a place of detention, imprisonment, or some form of captivity. This could include escaping from a prison, a concentration camp, a psychiatric institution, or any similar control or restriction imposed on a person.
Escapees are those who have managed to overcome various obstacles, challenges, or security measures in order to gain their freedom. They have successfully eluded the authorities, often by devising clever strategies, using force, or seizing the opportunity when it presents itself. The motive for escape may vary, ranging from seeking political asylum, avoiding punishment, or simply desiring personal liberty.
The term "escapee" can also be extended to animals that have managed to break free from their enclosure or captivity, such as zoo animals or domestic pets. In this context, an escapee denotes an animal that has wandered away from its designated or restricted area. Humans and animals alike labeled as escapees may pose a potential risk to themselves, others, or be deemed a nuisance to society.
Escapees are often the subject of intense search efforts by authorities, who aim to recapture them and return them to their original place of confinement. The act of escaping, and subsequently being labeled an escapee, is typically viewed as illicit or unlawful.

Etymology of ESCAPEE
The word "escapee" has a relatively straightforward etymology. It is formed by adding the suffix "-ee" to the verb "escape".
"Escape" originated from the Latin word "ex-", meaning "out of", and "cappa", meaning "cloak". Over time, the Latin "ex- cappa" evolved into the Old French word "escaper" and eventually into the Middle English verb "escape" during the 14th century.
The suffix "-ee" comes from the French "-é", which was used to form passive participles. It was later adopted into English, often used to denote the recipient or object of an action.
Therefore, the combination of the verb "escape" and the suffix "-ee" gives us the word "escapee", which refers to a person who has escaped, particularly from confinement, captivity, or a dangerous situation.
