覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず transfer を軸に覚えるとよい語です。transfer が「移す・譲る」なら、transferee はその結果として“受け取る側の人”。英語の -ee は interviewee, payee, addressee のように「動作を受ける側・対象」になりやすいので、transfer + ee で「譲渡を受ける人」と整理できます。法律・契約では transferor（譲る側）と対で出やすいので、語尾だけで role を見分ける練習をすると定着しやすいです。
Start from `transfer`. Then notice the ending `-ee`, which often means the person who receives an action, like `payee` or `interviewee`. So `transferee` is the receiving side, and it is often paired with `transferor`, the giving side.
例文

As the transferee, she became the legal owner of the business.
譲受人として、彼女はそのビジネスの法的所有者になりました。
The transferee must pay the agreed amount within thirty days.
譲受人は30日以内に合意した金額を支払わなければなりません。

transferee の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transferee は transfer に、受け手を表す接尾辞 -ee が付いた語です。transfer はラテン語 transferre にさかのぼり、trans-「越えて」+ ferre「運ぶ」で、原義は「向こうへ運ぶ」。だから transferee は「移されたものを受け取る人」という意味になります。
Transferee is formed from transfer and the suffix -ee, which marks the person who receives an action. Transfer comes from Latin transferre, from trans- meaning "across" and ferre meaning "to carry." Its original sense was "to carry across," and transferee came to mean the person to whom something is transferred.
