The argument proceeds by offering an example that appears to contradict a rule, then resolves the contradiction by adding a qualifier to the rule.

It notes that words ending in “-ee” tend to refer to a recipient of another’s action (i.e., an employee is employed by someone else). “Absentee” appears to contradict this rule—it ends in “-ee” yet refers to someone performing an action. The author resolves this contradiction by qualifying the rule to limit its application to situations where two people are interacting with one another.

We’re looking for a word that could play the same role as “absentee”—a word ending in “-ee” that refers to a someone who performs an action, rather than someone on the receiving end of it.

An honoree receives honor from others, placing them at the receiving end of an action. This doesn’t serve as a counterexample like “absentee” does.

An appointee is appointed by others, placing them at the receiving end of an action. This doesn’t serve as a counterexample like “absentee” does.

A nominee is nominated by others, placing them at the receiving end of an action. This doesn’t serve as a counterexample like “absentee” does.

A transferee is transferred by others, placing them at the receiving end of an action. This doesn’t serve as a counterexample like “absentee” does.

An escapee is someone who performs the action of escaping, not someone on the receiving end of an action. Like “absentee,” it counters the generalization that “-ee” words refer to recipients of actions.
