Etymology

From signal +‎ -ee.

Noun

signalee (plural signalees)

  1. (rare) The person toward whom a signal is directed.
    • 2013, Eckart Voland, Karl Grammer, Evolutionary Aesthetics, page 253:
      Simple, economically rare emblems with messages, such as “I am fit, strong and morally good” were unable to evolve because a naive, untested acceptance of socially motivated information would be highly risky for signalees, since the interests of signaler and signalee are not identical.
