squeezings
What pressing yields
Squeezings are what remains after something has been squeezed—the liquid extracted or the residue left behind.
The word appears in contexts ranging from the mundane squeezings from a lemon to the industrial oil squeezings.
In older usage, squeezings could mean profits extracted through pressure or extortion.
