受信者
解説 Definition
recipients は recipient（受信者、受け取る人）の複数形で、「受信者」や「受領者」という意味です。メールや通知を受け取る人たち、また賞や支援を受ける人たちについて使われます。
The plural of recipient, referring to people or organizations that receive something, such as an email, message, award, payment, benefit, or donated item. In communication contexts, they are the intended receivers of what is sent.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
recipients は recipient「受け取る人」の複数形で、子音＋ s を加え、発音は /rɪˈsɪpiənts/ と末尾が /ts/ になります。メールなら send something to recipients、送信前なら check the list of recipients が定番です。receive「受け取る」と結び付け、「送る側」でなく複数の「受け取る側」と覚えます。
Begin with the singular recipient, “a person or organization that receives something,” and add -s for more than one; the plural ends with the sound sequence /ts/. Connect recipient with receive, since both concern taking or getting what is sent or given. In an email screen, the recipients are on the receiving side, not the sender’s side. Useful combinations include all recipients, a list of recipients, intended recipients, and send a message to recipients. The mental picture of checking several email addresses before pressing Send reinforces both the plural form and the meaning.

recipients の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recipere（re-「back」+ capere「取る」）の現在分詞 recipiens が語源。「受け取る人」の意。同根語に receive（受け取る）、capable（能力がある）がある。「再び手に取る→受け取る人」というイメージ。
Recipient comes from Latin recipiens, the present participle of recipere, “to receive or take back.” Recipere combines re-, “back,” with capere, “to take.” The English noun came to denote a person who receives something. Related words such as receive preserve the same central idea, while words including capable reflect the broader Latin root connected with taking or holding. Recipients is the regular plural, formed by adding -s to recipient.
