- 1上訴人（對判決不服、向上級法院提起上訴的那一方）。
In a court of law, if you are unhappy with a decision and you ask a higher court to look at the case again, you appeal. The person (or company) who does that is the appellant. It is courtroom English, not café English. The other side is often called the respondent, or in some places the appellee — the one answering the appeal. You may also see appellant used like an adjective on papers: the appellant party, an appellant brief. Ordinary speech just says the person who is appealing, or who is taking the case higher. It is not a general word for “someone who asks,” and it has nothing to do with a person being appealing — that is a different, everyday meaning of appeal, “attractive.”
組成From Anglo-Norman / Old French apelant, from apeler “to call, to appeal.” The -ant ending marks the person doing the action.
