A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vouchee (vow-chee) is a historical term that has two meanings:

1. A person who has been vouched into court
2. A person who is cited as an authority to support a fact

Example 1: In medieval times, if a person was sued in court and claimed that they were not responsible for the debt, they could "vouch over" someone else to take responsibility. The person who was vouched over was called the vouchee.

Example 2: In a research paper, a student might use a quote from a famous author as evidence to support their argument. The author would be the vouchee in this case.

Both examples illustrate the two meanings of vouchee. In the first example, the vouchee is a person who is brought into court to take responsibility for a debt. In the second example, the vouchee is a person who is cited as an authority to support a fact.
