A quick definition of patiens:

Term: PATIENS

Definition: A patiens is someone who is suffering or allowing something to happen to them. They are the passive party in a situation, meaning they are not taking action but rather experiencing the effects of someone else's actions. This is different from an agens, who is the active party in a transaction.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Patiens (pay-shee-enz) is a Latin word that refers to a person who suffers or permits something to happen. It is the passive party in a transaction.

Example 1: A patient who is undergoing surgery is a patiens because they are allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure on them.

Example 2: A person who is being bullied and does not fight back is also a patiens because they are allowing the bully to continue their behavior.

The examples illustrate the definition of patiens because in both cases, the person is not taking an active role in the situation. They are allowing something to happen to them without actively participating or resisting. The term patiens is often used in legal or medical contexts to describe the passive party in a transaction or procedure.
