pass +‎ -ee

Noun

passee (plural passees)

  1. One who is passed.
    • 2013, Bernard De Koven, A Playful Path, page 121:
      To keep the people who are doing the passing sensitive to the pesron being passed [] , you might want to ask them to hum or chant or whisper sweet nothings. The passee, aside from worrying about being dropped, might also spend a lot of her time worrying, more rightfully, about being touched, as they say, “inappropriately.”
