What does DONEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A person who receives a gift, donation, or a power granted by another person.
Legal writing pairs donee with its opposite, donor, to describe the two sides of a gift: the donor gives and the donee receives, whether the gift is money, property, or land. Beyond simple gifts, a donee can also be someone granted a power of appointment, meaning the right to decide how certain property will later be distributed. Outside law, donee appears occasionally in ordinary writing about charity, though donor and recipient are heard far more often in everyday speech.
