residual
What lingers behind
Residual refers to what remains after the main part has been removed or accounted for.
In statistics, a residual is the difference between an observed value and a predicted one.
In medicine, residual symptoms persist after treatment.
The noun residuals typically means ongoing payments to performers when their work is rebroadcast: The actor lives off residuals from that sitcom.
