remaining
Not yet gone
Remaining describes what is left over after other parts are removed, used, or accounted for: the remaining slices of pizza, her remaining years.
It often implies a reduced quantity from some original whole.
As a noun, remains refers to what's left behind—food scraps, ruins, or a corpse: human remains were found in the woods.
