yether
a remnant of
A surplus, remainder, or what is left over from an original whole; also, a cord or string. In most occurrences, denotes that which remains after a process or event (remnant, surplus, residue), but in specific contexts can refer to a physical cord or string (especially bowstrings). The primary lexical meaning centers on something that is left or left over, but can expand to superior quality (excellence) or abundance in poetic or figurative usage.
