undergoer
Subject of experience
An undergoer is someone who undergoes something—a person who experiences or is subjected to a process, treatment, or change.
The word appears in grammar to describe the entity affected by an action, as opposed to the one performing it: In "The window broke," the window is the undergoer.
Outside linguistics, it's rare but transparent in meaning.
