What is the subject of a survey called?
For example, the subject of an interview is an interviewee.
So, I was wondering what the subject of a survey might be.
Solution 1:
despite the fact that most of us are inundated with surveys and they most likely use such a word in their communication, all I can think of is:
respondent.
(all the obvious constructions just don't sound like they are used despite their 'correctness'.)
Solution 2:
Since someone who conducts and survey is a surveyor then someone or something being surveyed is the surveyed.
Similarly to how the object of a tormentor is the tormented.
Solution 3:
Simply subject of survey. Or you can use surveyed object. There does not seem to be any one-word synonym for it. If you don't consider survivor as one :)
