I would add the Latin tranlation "patiens" myself but I'm not good with the markup. --Logomachist 19:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Rfv-sense — Noun sense One who, or that which, is passively affected; a passive recipient. The undated citation has been repeated by dictionaries since Johnson and I can't find the original source. — Pingkudimmi 09:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't find your original source for that undated citation in a machine-readable version, but I found other cites from the same work. Also, there are a number of other citations out there to support this meaning, which seems related to the linguistic/grammer meaning (sense 2). It is typically (but not always -- see the 1994 cite) found in philosophy, and traces back to Aristotle:
