I know:
One who reviews = reviewer
One who undergoes a review = reviewee
I thought:
One who approves = approver
A person seeking someone's approval = approvee
But I found that there is no word like approvee. What is the appropriate word for this meaning?
More specifically, suppose X needs something to be approved and Y is the person who can approve X's things.
Now, Y is approver of X.
X is what of Y?
