What is a "patient"?

In linguistics, a patient refers to the entity that experiences the action or event described by a verb. It is often the subject or object that undergoes a change or is affected by the action. For example, in the sentence "The chef cooked the meal," "the meal" is the patient because it is what is being acted upon by the chef.
