Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is derived from the English verb 'arrest', which traces back via Old French 'arrester' from the Latin 'restare' (to remain, stay back). The suffix '-ee' was then appended to denote the passive recipient of the action, a productive morphological pattern common in legal and administrative English originating from Anglo-Norman legal terminology.
