Derived from Old French remaindre (to stay behind), itself from Latin remanēre (re- "back" + manēre "to stay"). The word evolved in Middle English to denote "what is left," reflecting the core idea of persistence or residual presence. The mathematical sense emerged in the 16th century, aligning with the concept of "leftover" quantities.
