is
mentee
as in a person who is mentored, rather than the herbal drink or sea creature it sounds like it ought to be.
I’m not certain this is a real word, but it came up a lot in a presentation this afternoon.

It just makes me think it ought to mean a trainee mentalist.
“Mentee” is a pretty horrible back-formation. “Mentor” comes from the name of the tutor to Odysseus’ son Telemachus. It doesn’t mean “someone who ments”.
