transferees
転勤者
解説 Definition
転勤や転属により、新しい職場や場所に移動させられる人。
Transferees are people who have been moved from one place, job, school, team, or department to another. The word is often used in business, education, and sports. It focuses on the people receiving the transfer rather than the act itself.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず transfer が分かれば覚えやすい語です。transfer は「移す・異動させる」、そこに employee や trainee にも出る -ee が付くと「その行為を受ける人」になり、transferee は「異動させられる人」。複数形なので transferees は「転勤者たち」。transfer は物や仕事の移動にも使えますが、transferee は人に限られやすい点が記憶のフックです。会社文脈で employee transfer, overseas transferees のように一緒に覚えると定着します。
Use the ending -ee as a clue: it often means the person who receives an action. So a transferee is the person who is transferred, especially in company moves to a new office or location. Think of HR phrases like overseas transferees or support for transferees.

transferees の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transferees は transfer「移す」+ -ee「その行為を受ける人」+ 複数の -s。transfer はラテン語 transferre にさかのぼり、trans-「越えて」+ ferre「運ぶ」から成るので、「別の場所へ運ばれる人たち」から「転勤者」と理解できる。関連語は refer, confer。
Transferees is built from transfer, the ending -ee for the person receiving an action, and plural -s. Transfer comes from Latin transferre, made of trans- "across" and ferre "to carry." The basic idea is of people who are carried or moved to another place, and it shares the root ferre with words like refer and confer.
