Etymology
From signal + -ee.
noun
- The person toward whom a signal is directed.“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.”
