net
What remains afterward
One noun and verb net is about grid-like structures consisting of nodes and edges, like a fishing net.
Such nets can exist as abstractions as well, like the Internet, or the net, as it’s called informally.
To net something is to catch it in a net.
The other net, adjective, noun, and verb, refers to amounts that exclude charges, deductions, and the like (net worth, net income, net profit).
To net an amount is to have that much left after deductions.
The net of a business operation is the amount of profit it nets.
