What is the difference between the words ‘Intern’ and ‘Internee’.?

Is it correct to use the two words interchangeably for a ‘trainee’ working to gain practical experience in an occupation.

Have you thought about looking in a dictionary? See the links below.

“Internee” refers to someone who is interned in a prison or POW camp. “Intern” usually applies to someone who is apprenticing in a position or is a student doing a temporary job, but can also be used to refer to someone who is interned in prison.

No, it isn’t. ‘Intern’ and ‘trainee’ are pretty interchangeable, but ‘inernee’ refers to someone held/imprisoned/detained against his or her will. People at Guantanamo are internees, as were the Japanese Americans (Nisei) in WWII ‘internment camps.’ ‘Internee’ also has a connotation of extra-judicial, meaning that the internee has not been convicted of any crime.

an intern is someone who is learning from a professional in their field.

An internee is a prisoner or someone who is being detained.

Two completely different things wouldnt you say?

Intelligent question I respect your stance and the argument you gave to support it. Retrofitted meanings to derogatory terms always ring hollow, no matter how many uninitiated cosigners attach.
