beneficiary
含义: A person who receives a benefit, especially one designated to receive money or property from a will, trust, or insurance policy.
Beneficiary is primarily a legal and financial term. In estate planning, it refers to someone named in a will or trust to inherit assets. In insurance, the beneficiary receives the payout. More broadly, it can describe anyone who gains an advantage from something — 'the main beneficiaries of the policy change were small businesses.' It collocates with 'sole,' 'primary,' 'named,' and 'ultimate.'
