患者, 主体
the entity that undergoes or experiences an action or change as a result of an event
In linguistics, a patient refers to the entity that experiences the action or event described by a verb. It is often the subject or object that undergoes a change or is affected by the action. For example, in the sentence "The chef cooked the meal," "the meal" is the patient because it is what is being acted upon by the chef. Understanding the role of the patient is important for analyzing sentence structure and how different elements interact in conveying meaning within a sentence.
