Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling serves both the simple past (the publisher remaindered the stock) and the participle in passives and perfects (the stock was remaindered, has been remaindered). The verb is transitive and grows from the noun for unsold goods marked down in price. It carries only that sales meaning, never the arithmetic remainder or the legal estate in expectancy.
