用法筆記

The promisee is one of two roles in any promise-based legal bond: the promisor (the one who makes the promise) and the promisee (the one who receives it). The -or and -ee endings follow the same pattern as employer/employee and payer/payee — the -or is the active party and the -ee is the receiving party. In everyday speech, 'promisee' is rare; it belongs almost entirely to formal legal and contractual writing.
