- 1Present participle and gerund of remainder.

Remaindering surplus stock let the firm recover some of its printing costs.
Note
Its partner is a noun of the same spelling. Excess stock left unsold and marked down is the remainder, and remaindering is the act of declaring it so. The verb is transitive, so the participle takes a direct object (remaindering last season's stock). As a gerund it names the whole practice and can stand as a subject. Keep it apart from the arithmetic remainder left after division, which has no verb.
