意味

Remainder; residue; surplus. What is left over after the main portion has been used, distributed, or accounted for.

A formal noun used in legal, financial, and administrative contexts. Common collocations include 残余財産 (residual assets/remaining property, especially in company dissolution), 残余リスク (residual risk), and 残余時間 (remaining time). It is more formal and precise than everyday words like 残り, and implies a deliberate accounting of what has not been consumed or claimed.
