inmate

English

Etymology

From inn +? mate, or from in- +? mate.

Noun

inmate (plural inmates)

  1. A person confined to an institution such as a prison (as a convict) or hospital (as a patient).
  2. A person who shares a residence (such as a hotel guest, a lodger, or a student living on campus), or other place.
