carryovers
What transfers forward
Carryovers are things that persist from one period, situation, or context into another.
Budget carryovers are unspent funds transferred to the next fiscal year.
A policy might be a carryover from a previous administration.
The word often suggests something retained rather than renewed: These rules are carryovers from the old system.
In cooking, carryover refers to continued cooking after food is removed from heat.
