Literary notes about Recipient (AI summary)
The term “recipient” is employed in literature to denote the individual or entity that receives something—whether it be a message, favor, honor, or even abstract influences. Its usage spans practical contexts such as electronic communications and data transfers ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), and extends to more nuanced portrayals in narrative fiction and sociological discourse. Authors use the word to evoke the experience of receiving confessions or accolades ([6], [7], [8], [9]), to emphasize the relational dynamic between giver and receiver ([10], [11], [12]), and to illustrate how societies or nations absorb external influences or aid ([13], [14], [15]). In each instance, “recipient” serves as a versatile term that enriches the description of interactions, whether technical, personal, or cultural.
