Can anyone tell me the word or phrase that means 'someone who things are done to'?

In grammar or literary criticism, the first is object, the second is subject. In syntax, the first is a patient, while the second is agent. Unfortunately, most of these words have other meanings and may be misunderstood out of context.



If you wish to combine them, agent / object are likely to be understood in the correct way by most people.
